diffoscope

Compare files, archives, and directories. More information: https://manned.org/diffoscope.

  • Compare two files:

diffoscope {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}

  • Compare two files without displaying a progress bar:

diffoscope --no-progress {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}

  • Compare two files and write an HTML-report to a file (use - for stdout):

diffoscope --html {{path/to/outfile|-}} {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}

  • Compare two directories excluding files with a name matching a specified pattern:

diffoscope --exclude {{pattern}} {{path/to/directory1}} {{path/to/directory2}}

  • Compare two directories and control whether directory metadata is considered:

diffoscope --exclude-directory-metadata {{auto|yes|no|recursive}} {{path/to/directory1}} {{path/to/directory2}}
