Meld is a program for comparing files and directories that can, among other things, work with version control systems.
Today I had to look through a number of directories with source codes and compare them with similar source codes from another version of the project (for historical reasons, these versions were stored in different repositories, so I compared directories, but it doesn’t matter).
The task was this - to find all the necessary changes in the older version that need to be transferred to the new one (of course, with the preservation of the changes that were already there).
With the help of Meld, I was able to do this in record time, because it is very simple and functional. I recommend to everyone who is looking for a good program for comparing files and directories under linux
