There is also meld (graphical) that allows you to view changes and also
apply one side or the other.

For the example above, just do:
bash-5.1$ comm -1 -3 a.csv b.csv
2,m
4,d
5,e
6,f

Diff essentially does what I want, but it adds a bunch of other stuff. I
haven't found a set of options to tell to simply the output. Here's an example:
-a.csv-

3,c
-b.csv-
1,a
2,m
3,c
4,d
5,e

Diff gives me the following:
bash-5.1$ diff a.csv b.csv
2c2

Can you give an example of what you've tried and what you would like the
expected outcome to be?
Here's a quick sample showing lines 4 and 5 have been added:
$ diff <( seq 1 3 ) <( seq 1 5 )
3a4,5

Hi all,
I thought there was a command to do this but I'm having trouble finding it and
diff is doing strange stuff.
I have a csv file that grows over time. What I want to do is take a newer
version of the file, compare it to the old one, and only print the lines that
are different. This also
