User Reviews

  • Has been my go-to visual diff front-end for years. Enough features, and very easy to install on any Linux or Unix distribution, even if it is not available in its package manager, or you are using a system where you do not have root. So you can in a way bring tkdiff along it in your personal toolkit.
  • Absolutely the best way to visually see file differences. The reason there are so few tickets is just because it is just works.
  • Thank you very much for the free open source program!
  • Tkdiff is just so much better than any command-line rendition of diffs I have ever seen. The documentation is awesome, once you stop looking for a man page and hit the Help button in the GUI
  • diff is classical tool for UNIX-like systems. but it is textual. tkdiff is a classical GUI for diff. lightweight and effective.
