GitHub File Diff: View Diffs on GitHub

GitHub File Diff is a Chrome extension that allows you to view diffs of files and directories on GitHub. It overrides GitHub's default behavior and shows the relevant files' diffs instead of the entire commit's diff. This extension is especially useful for large commits where GitHub only shows a partial diff or none at all. Simply refresh the page to revert back to the regular view.
