You COULD diff the directories containing exploded source code .. but I
don't think it will help you.
These are two totally separate programs and projects. It would be like
trying to diff GNOME and KDE because they serve the same function. You
could technically do it, but the result would have very little meaning
as all the file names inside the code are different. The diff would be
a copy of each file from both projects.
On an EL8 system, yum is a symlink to dnf. So there is NO difference
between yum and dnf on EL8 (they are the exact same file .. /usr/bin/dnf).
The files for yum and dnf in /usr/bin/ are python scripts .. but they
also import many python libraries .. so they are not totally contained
in a single file.
