Magento module to find all files of a given Magento theme (for example Magento/luma), compare the found files with the parent theme (and/or modules) and return whether there are differences or not.

composer require yireo/magento2-theme-override-checker:@dev
bin/magento module:enable Yireo_ThemeOverrideCheckerList all possible overrides, with a warning for unneeded overrides (with no changes) and a red warning when lines are different:
bin/magento yireo:theme-overrides:check Magento/luma
List all specific override details for a specific file:
bin/magento yireo:theme-overrides:show Magento/luma web/jquery.js
bin/magento yireo:theme-overrides:show Magento/blank web/css/source/_theme.lessList a diff between the current version and the parent theme version:
bin/magento yireo:theme-overrides:diff Magento/luma web/css/source/_theme.lessAmpersandHQ developed an excellent tool ampersand-magento2-upgrade-patch-helper to check the status of a current project. Part of this is that it also scans for override files in the theme. However, it does not report what overriding files actually means. For instance, is overriding an XML layout file good or bad? How many lines of overriding a JavaScript file classifies as a bad practice?
