KDiff3Īnother free and open source tool answers to the name of KDiff3. It comes in standard and professional editions, and for people working on both Windows and macOS, it's good to know that a single license is valid for both platforms. It also lets you compare office documents (like MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint, or ODF). Just like Beyond Compare, Araxis Merge supports more than just text and image files.
The "Pro" version also includes a solid three-way merge. It goes well beyond (pun intended) diffing simple text and also allows comparing PDF, Excel and image files. The Beyond Compare team makes a fine diff tool for Windows (as well as macOS and Linux, by the way). Apart from diffing files, Meld also supports comparison of folders. It supports three-way comparing and merging and lets you edit files directly from the comparison view. Unchanged files aren't mentioned, but counted for brevity (usually you'll have way more unchanged than changed files I imagine).Īlso works on linux, for you powershell users out there running it there :)įor those curious, the unchanged files were clrcompression.dll,logo.png, logo.png, logo.png, and logo.Being free and open source, Meld is a very popular tool on Windows (it's also available for Linux). We can see exactly at which versions files were added and removed from the. $firstFolder = Get-ChildItem -Recurse $folder1 | Where-Object | DiffFolders | Out-GridView
# Get all files under $folder1, filter out directories
Here is the powershell code for that: $folder1 = "C:\Folder1" It looked like the script was hung to me. Please note it also shows progress made since it was hard for me to see that given the huge folders with not very many differences. I have taken jscott's answer an expanded it to output the files that are present in one but not the other for those who are insterest in that type of functionality.
