With --octocatalog-diff supporting over 75 command line options (and counting), there's a little something for everyone. On this page, we document some interesting use cases that can be accomplished with creative combinations of options.
If you find a creative use of octocatalog-diff that we haven't thought of, we encourage you to create a document named advanced-SOMETHING.md and link to it from here!
