Compare lets you perform side-by-side comparison and merge of your directories, files, and their content. It lets you see changes down to the character level and copy changes between two different versions of a file as needed.
This lightweight application features clean interface with easy to understand controls and icons, no bloat (such as image or sound wave comparison, built in emacs editor, etc) and does not require you to create and manage projects. Just select or drag-and-drop in two items onto it and you're ready to compare and merge. It also remembers all recent items for each side so you can perform repeated comparisons easily.
(While there are no plans to jam in a bunch of features into this tool, a few exciting changes are coming, please see the website. And thanks for checking out this comparison and merge tool!)
v2.1
This update includes a major enhancement:
- You can now select to ignore text formatting during comparisons! This means line wraps, indentation, line lengths and programmer coding preferences such as where they put the opening braces after an if statement are not detected as differences in text to text comparison.
Makes the following change:
- The refresh buttons rerun comparison from current text vs rereading the files.
And corrects the following problems:
- A bug sometimes causing text from last manual alignment until end of the file to be missing.
- Orange text has been improved for both light and dark mode display.
