## Description

GitHub File Diff is a Firefox add-on that allows you to view diffs of files and directories on GitHub. It overrides GitHub's default behavior of showing the entire commit's diff and only shows the relevant files. This is particularly useful for large commits where GitHub only shows a partial diff or none at all. Simply refresh the page to return to the regular view.
