Show the diff of the last 2 items in clipboard history using VSCode. This relies on [Alfred](https://www.alfredapp.com/) workflows to automate the process.

# How To Use

1. Setup Visual Studio Code for terminal. 

   1. Open Visual Studio Code

   2. CMD + SHIFT + P (Opens Command Palette)

   3. Search and run "Install 'code' command in PATH"

2. Download the latest `VSCodeDiff.alfredworkflow` file from the [release page](https://github.com/logicxd/alfred-vscodediff/releases). Then just double click it to let Alfred install the workflow.

3. Enable Clipboard History in Alfred

Now you have VSCodeDiff enabled! 

# How It Works

![Overview](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/12219300/166205888-6dac92fa-45b1-423e-a002-e07e024dd871.png)

VSCode provides a way to compares files via terminal with the command `code --diff  `. So we create 2 temporary files inside Alfred's cache and use those to compare.
