Ask HN: What is your favorite diff tool?
- chrislaco 12y agop4merge for showing 3-way diffs.
- swah 12y agoI like WinMerge but its not perfect. Emacs's ediff is also great (and slow) but I'm not using emacs currently.
- katabatic 12y agoAraxis Merge. It's not free, but I've never used anything as good as it.
- Flenser 12y agoWinmerge for 2-way and kdiff3 for 3-way although I'm trialing meld now there's an official windows installer.
- chewxy 12y agoMeld on Linux. Winmerge on Windows. I cannot find anything I like on OS X - XCode is fat as fuck
- citruspi 12y agoCheck out Kaleidoscope[0] for OS X. [0] http://www.kaleidoscopeapp.com http://www.kaleidoscopeapp.com
- hackerboos 12y ago$70 - no thanks...
- LarryMade2 12y agoSecond on Meld - great UI, compare folders as well as files. You can get Meld on Windows (unofficial installer-works fine) and Mac through MacPorts (meh).
- read 12y agotkdiff because (a) it installs on Linux with requiring lots of dependencies and (b) supports a -r parameter for diffing against a previous version from source control (but only for Subversion/CVS; not Git)
