# go-diff [](https://godoc.org/github.com/sergi/go-diff/diffmatchpatch) [](https://travis-ci.org/sergi/go-diff) [](https://coveralls.io/r/sergi/go-diff?branch=master)
go-diff offers algorithms to perform operations required for synchronizing plain text:
- Compare two texts and return their differences.
- Perform fuzzy matching of text.
- Apply patches onto text.
## Installation
```bash
go get -u github.com/sergi/go-diff/...
```
## Usage
The following example compares two texts and writes out the differences to standard output.
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/sergi/go-diff/diffmatchpatch"
)
const (
text1 = "Lorem ipsum dolor."
text2 = "Lorem dolor sit amet."
)
func main() {
dmp := diffmatchpatch.New()
diffs := dmp.DiffMain(text1, text2, false)
fmt.Println(dmp.DiffPrettyText(diffs))
}
```
