## What it is
A repository exposing diffs between React Native versions, generated by initializing and upgrading a template app per release, to make upgrades easier to inspect. It is deprecated in favor of react-native-community/rn-diff-purge.

## Use cases
- see what changed between two React Native versions
- upgrade a React Native project without running react-native upgrade
- review template file changes like .flowconfig or Android config between releases
- find the diff patch for a specific React Native release

## When to choose
- you maintain an old React Native app (pre-0.58 era) and need historical version diffs
- you want to understand what the react-native upgrade command changes between versions

## When to avoid
- you are upgrading a modern React Native project - use react-native-community/upgrade-helper instead
- you need a maintained tool or support for recent React Native versions

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: developer-tools, version-control
- domain: mobile-development, developer-tools, version-control
- platform: cross-platform, cli
- tags: react-native, upgrade-helper, diff, deprecated, reference-repo
