aria-expanded="false" data-state="closed">Bun v1.1.39 introduced bun.lock, a JSONC formatted lockfile. bun.lock is human-readable and git-diffable without configuration, at no cost to performance. In 1.2.0+ it is the default format used for new projects. Learn more. To teach git how to generate a human-readable diff of Bun’s binary lockfile format (.lockb), add the following to your local or global .gitattributes file: gitattributes

*.lockb binary diff=lockb

Then add the following to you local git config with: terminal

git config diff.lockb.textconv bun
git config diff.lockb.binary true

To globally configure git to diff Bun’s lockfile, add the following to your global git config with: terminal

git config --global diff.lockb.textconv bun
git config --global diff.lockb.binary true

​How this works Why this works: textconv tells git to run bun on the file before diffing binary tells git to treat the file as binary (so it doesn’t try to diff it line-by-line) In Bun, you can execute Bun’s lockfile (bun ./bun.lockb) to generate a human-readable version of the lockfile and git diff can then use that to generate a human-readable diff.
