feat(diff): add helper function to create synthetic diffs for new files

This update introduces a new function, createNewFileDiff, to streamline the generation of synthetic diffs for untracked files. The function reduces code duplication by handling the diff formatting for new files, including directories and large files, improving overall maintainability.
