Compare Two Versions of a CSV or Google Sheet by URL
Created by
Adam Pearce
Diff two versions of a public file by link: an older and the current version of the open ISO country-codes CSV on GitHub, matched on the ISO code and compared only in the columns you care about (name, capital, continent, dial code, currency), so cosmetic churn elsewhere is ignored. Live result: one real change, Turkey renamed to Türkiye. Downloads a CSV and Excel diff report.
