🛠 Build Instructions

git clone https://github.com/darkyboys/gdif.git
cd gdif
magma
sudo magma install

💡 The magma command assumes you have the Magma and Mklib build systems already installed. If not, install them from there provides links in Dependencies Section. Also after building your binary is installed at /usr/local/bin and you can use gdif by executing sudo gdif sudo for allowing gdif to access your USB Stick.

💾 Flashing Support

OS Type	Supported	Method Used
Linux	✅	dd
Windows	✅	GWoeUSB

💡 The GWoeUSB is a custom version of WoeUSB maintained and modified by darkyboys and it doesnot relates to WoeUSB at all , Since any bugs in GWoeUSB must not be the part of WoeUSB so do not blame there maintainers for any known bugs in GWoeUSB. Instead raise an issue on gdif repository.

🧪 How It Works

• The UI is rendered using a custom HTMLUI engine.

• lsblk output is parsed to detect drives.

• Drive, ISO, and OS type are passed from the UI to the backend.

• Based on the OS:

  • Linux: The drive is formatted and flashed using dd.
  • Windows: Requires and uses GWoeUSB (bash script wrapper).

• Progress is tracked via a progress.txt file polled by a thread.
