Abstract

Navigation to a data definition in a diff context. A diff comparison can be generated between at least two versions of a first file. The diff comparison can identify syntax of at least a first method identified in a portion of syntax that is different between the at least two versions of the first file, the first method defined by a data definition in a second file. The diff comparison can configure syntax of the first method to be a first navigable block of data in at least one of the versions of the first file. At least two versions of the first file can be presented to a user in a file difference window, and a user input can be received selecting the first navigable block of data. Responsive to the user input, the second file can be presented to the user in the file difference window.
