tkdiff
open-in-new
<p>tkdiff is a graphical <a href="/facts/Diff/MtzRWwql">diff</a> viewer based on the <a href="/facts/Tk_(computing)/Y6NBxcbF">Tk</a> framework. It is capable of inter-operating with <a href="/facts/Version_control_system/pxCmFXqK">source-control systems</a> like <a href="/facts/Concurrent_Versions_System/PKnqSra2">CVS</a> and <a href="/facts/Subversion_(software)/b5j9wAbt">Subversion</a> to show the differences between the local copy and the repository version. Such a line-by-line comparison is often considered to be good <a href="/facts/Software_engineering/KX6cE9kz">software engineering</a> practice before committing code changes. </p><p>Tkdiff highlight specific differences within a line shared by both files, rather than simply indicating that the whole line differs. </p>
