It needs Python installed to run, but what I like is how it links changes together graphically, making it much easier to figure out where and how the compared files differ.Īs I mentioned earlier, most comparison tools will provide the features you need, what it comes down to is how clearly the differences are pulled out. They include the likes of ExamDiff and WinMerge, but the one that caught my eye is Meld.
To take the effort out of narrowing your choices, gHack’s Martin Brinkmann has put together a list of five popular programs, all completely free.
Some options are definitely better than others, but often it comes down to presentation. For coders, most version control software comes with a diffing tool, but if you’re not using SourceTree, Perforce or similar VCS client, you might be wondering what your choices are.
Certain types of work, especially programming, require the regular comparison of text files, or “diffs”.
