Feature request: output diff #111
Description
The current json output for --mode lint is not human-readable. It would be great to be able to print a diff instead of json.
It can be a new --diff flag, or --format json/diff, or --mode diff.
For example, instead of
[ { "path": "separator.in", "lines": { "start": 4, "end": 6 }, "message": "These lines are out of order.", "fixes": [ { "replacements": [ { "lines": { "start": 4, "end": 6 }, "new_content": " \"Bar\",\n \"Baz\",\n \"Foo\"\n" } ] } ] }, { "path": "separator.in", "lines": { "start": 12, "end": 16 }, "message": "These lines are out of order.", "fixes": [ { "replacements": [ { "lines": { "start": 12, "end": 16 }, "new_content": "// Sticky comment\n\"Bar\",\n\"Baz\",\n\"Foo\"\n// Trailing comments\n" } ] } ] } ]I'd like to see
