When to use it
- Use it to compare two text versions quickly.
- It is useful for config files, API responses, and plain text drafts.
- It is a lightweight option when a full git diff is unnecessary.
Types and modes
- Added means the line exists only on the right side.
- Removed means the line exists only on the left side.
- Changed means both sides have a line at that position but the content differs.
What to check
- This tool compares by line order, not deep move detection.
- A moved line may appear as a change rather than a move.
- For complex merges, a dedicated diff tool will still be more accurate.
FAQ
