requires space-wizards/space-station-14#41215 to work with command line
I take no credit for all the node parsing, @perryprog did the initial work on this. I just iterated off that.
using
IPrototypeManagerto serialize entities we can output a .yml list of entities that includes components inherited from parents. Using the DiffPlex library (which i hope i have added correctly?) we can then generate a differential between two of these .yml lists.Also got a content-side PR to add arguments to

Content.YAMLLinter's command line to be able to run this pretty easily.To use, first run with
--saveto create the before state, make changes, then run with--diff.example output git gist
I dont have a strong frame of reference for a lot of the systems this PR works with so am more than happy to make any changes that may improve code functionality or readability.
