`regs` — Registry diff¶

regs compares *.reg files.

Dependencies¶

Python 3.6+
Console with ANSI colors — optional

Usage¶

                      usage: regs [-h] [-bnq] file ...

Registry diff 0.1

positional arguments:
  file            *.reg to compare

optional arguments:
  -h, --help      show this help message and exit
  -b, --binary    show REG_BINARY
  -n, --no-color  no ANSI colors
  -q, --quiet     no output

                    

In regedit, export the subtree to parse:

_images/export.png

Some REG_BINARY values change continuously depending on timestamps and user actions. regs assumes that these continuous variations do not interest you and hide all REG_BINARY values unless you use --binary.

Color¶

Enable ANSI colors: HKCU\Console\VirtualTerminalLevel = 1

Keys are not colored, values are colored according to their type:

Color	Type
Green	REG_SZ
Red	REG_BINARY
Blue	REG_DWORD
Magenta	REG_QWORD
Yellow	REG_MULTI_SZ REG_EXPAND_SZ
Cyan	REG_NONE
