Sfk run "winmerge $since $file" -sincedif docs-old docs -yes (option -sincedif lists only different files, not added files.) if we add option "-yes" to above command, the previed winmerge commands are executed: Winmerge docs-old\FooBank\GUI\include\FooGUI.hpp docs\.\FooGUI.hppĪs we see, there are two different files over the whole directory tree.

Winmerge docs-old\FooBank\DB\source\DBController.cpp docs\.\DBController.cpp Sfk run "winmerge $since $file" -sincedif docs-old docs So let's get back to the command line, and do it fast, using the sfk run command: Multiply this by all other files which may have differences, this clicking-around is a major waste of time - a problem common to most GUI based programs. Winmerge is great for comparing two files, but when i try to compare whole directories this way:īut to really find out, for example, that FooBank\DB\source\DBController.cpp is different, I have to invest at least three double mouseclicks. exe means leaving out some features provided by plugins and filters - but so far I use only source code comparison (.cpp. That's it! now, to compare two files instantly, type for example and copy the WinMerge.exe you find therein somewhere in your PATH.

Winmerge is an excellent, free diff- and merge tool with a comfortable GUI,Īnd best of all, the tool also provides a zero-install executable, perfect for use straight from usb sticks.
