    DirDiff

    DirDiff

    yoy.be

    DirDiff started as a tool to check two copies of files in separate directories, either by date or by a different modified date. From there, we had a go at building our own text-diff. Other diff's show the content of both files, and thus show the content that is equal twice. Sounds like a lot of wasted screen-space, so we show a single 'flow' and the different parts in different colors. Yes, we know we might have got green and red reversed, but since we use diff primarily to check what we've changed before commit, We like them to show up in red because it draws attention. It can also show the structure of XML documents in a tree view. If you configure the usual attribute names that holds identifying values, it will use those to show the relevant changes. If you're using TortoiseSVN, it turns out to be a good alternative diff to use with TortoiseSVN, open the settings and enter the command provided in our site for the external Diff Viewer.

    Pretty Diff

    Pretty Diff

    Pretty Diff

    Pretty Diff is a language-aware code comparison tool, beautifier, minifier, and parser for a variety of languages. Pretty Diff was created to compare code samples for various languages regardless of differences in comments, white space, and other factors. Currently, the project operates by beautifying code and then comparing the beautified product of the code samples. The goal in a future version is to introduce the comparison step directly into the beautifiers between the parse step and the beautification step to become a truly language-aware code comparison and analysis tool. The code comparison mode is the default mode and the only mode to require two code samples. Pretty Diff has progressively moved from community-driven dependencies to custom parsers to accomplish code beautification for a diversity of features and requests. Each of Pretty Diff's beautification libraries has a minify feature.

    TortoiseMerge

    TortoiseMerge

    TortoiseSVN

    Version control is all about having the history of your working progress. But to really see and check the history, you must be able to see and check what has changed between two points in time, for example, what has changed between two releases of your product, or what was changed to fix a bug, etc. This is where TortoiseMerge helps. It is a diff/merge software tool for Windows with a tight integration for TortoiseSVN. At least for files that consist of text, TortoiseMerge can help you here. It shows you the two versions of a file side-by-side, coloring every modified line in that file. When you reformat your code or text, sometimes you don't really change anything but only split a long line into multiple ones, or you merge multiple lines into one. TortoiseMerge marks such changes with a white circle on the left gray bar of each view. If you see such a white circle, you know that no real changes were made, only changes in whitespaces.

    One-click commit, push and pull. Unique search in history and undo for Git commands. Powerful commands like rebase, branch reset and cherry picking. And now it works with submodules. Gitbox integrates with popular diff tools such as Xcode FileMerge, Kaleidoscope, Changes, DiffMerge. Use keyboard for ultimate efficiency. Use arrow keys to jump between all the panes and lists. To stage all files, hit Cmd+Shift+Return. To stage/unstage selected files, use "S" shortcut. To pull and push, use "U" and "P" shortcuts. Press Option key to perform fetch. Press Cmd+Shift to force push or rebase. Right click menus contain all the advanced features you might need. For instance, to reset a branch, cherry pick a commit or revert a file. To amend a commit, simply undo it (cmd+Z). You can also undo merge, pull and even push. To find a bug, use color labels. Check out a commit, test it and mark if it works or not. This is a much better and visual approach than git-bisect.
