The README describes it as a CLI for diffing Excel and ODS workbooks, built on Apache POI and OdfToolkit. ### Adoptionsgeschichte ExcelCompare found a practical niche among developers who need spreadsheet diffs in shells, scripts, and version-control workflows. The README explicitly documents macOS installation via Homebrew and notes packaged shell and batch scripts. The project has remained recognizable enough for Homebrew packaging and GitHub issue-based maintenance, even though the core use case is narrow. ### Wie es verwendet wird The excel_cmp command compares two workbook files and exits 0 when workbooks match or 1 when they differ. It reports differing and extra cells, supports xls, xlsx, xlsm, and ods files, and can ignore sheets, rows, columns, or cell ranges independently for each input. The README also documents unified-diff output and using /dev/null or Windows NUL as an empty file, which makes the tool suitable for git diff-style workflows over spreadsheets. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren ExcelCompare packages a messy office-document problem into a scriptable Unix-style CLI with deterministic exit codes. That makes it useful in CI and review workflows where binary spreadsheet files otherwise resist normal diff tools. ### Zeitleiste - 2012: GitHub repository created. - 2013: Release 0.3 published. - Later README versions: Homebrew installation, ODS support, ignore rules, and unified-diff output documented. ### Related projects - The README cites Apache POI for Excel parsing and OdfToolkit for OpenDocument spreadsheet parsing. ### Quellen - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** excel-compare - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Verwandte Links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Productivity CLI packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/productivity-cli-packages/) - Matched curated productivity category metadata from av.db. - [openjdk](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/openjdk/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [sheets](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/sheets/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, spreadsheet. - [gnumeric](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/gnumeric/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, spreadsheet. - [latexdiff](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/latexdiff/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, diff, productivity. - [sc-im](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/sc-im/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, spreadsheet. - [xleak](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/xleak/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, excel, productivity. - [a2ps](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/a2ps/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity. - [abook](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/abook/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity. - [acronym](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/acronym/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity. - [bltool](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/bltool/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
