I create two images that should be identical, but their binaries are different:
$ convert -size 1x1 xc:white out1/w.png
$ sleep 1
$ convert -size 1x1 xc:white out2/w.png
$ diff out1/w.png out2/w.png
Binary files out1/w.png and out2/w.png differ
Probably because of a timestamp in embedded metadata.
QUESTION: How to make ImageMagick create a binary that will always be the same?
Context
I have a big ImageMagick script that creates many images that are then saved to Git (because most developers don't have the environment necessary to run the script).
I often edit the script (ex:define a new image) and then run it to regenerate all images. But I don't want to have Git differences for images that have not changed.
Apparently some compression algorithms produce slightly different results on different architectures. Not a big problem since I always generate on the same machine. But even on the same machine, the files always all differ.
