WinMerge is a free software for comparing and merging files and directories. It highlights the changes between versions which later can be merged to get rid of redundant data. WinMerge is an open source application for Windows OS. It provides the diff command functionality of Linux in Windows environment. For a planned development of version 3.x 2 no commits have been made to the 3.0 codebase since 2011. It is useful for determining what has changed between versions, and then merging changes between versions. Some of the other file and folder syncing tools that we reviewed earlier include File Synchronizer, and Synchredible. WinMerge is a free software tool for data comparison and merging of text-like files. The first and foremost task is to open the WinMerge window. A window with the title “Select Files and Folders” will pop up. Now in the left and right fields specify the files/folders which need to be compared for differences. If you want to refine the search further, use the filter field.
Depending on the regular expression used in this field only a subset of files will be included during the comparison process. Now click on the ok button to start the comparison process. If folders were compared then as soon as the comparison completes a compare window opens which reveals the differences between the two folders.Īll the results are displayed in a tabular format with the name of the file displayed in the extreme left column followed by columns containing additional information like – comparison result, left date, right date, extension etc.īut if files were compared, the comparison results are displayed side by side, in separate panes.
