Diffuse

Diffuse is a graphical Windows application for comparing and merging text files. It is intended for users who need to inspect differences between files, reconcile changes, or work with several versions of the same text. The interface presents files side by side so that comparisons and merge decisions can be made within one workspace.

The tool supports comparisons and merges involving an arbitrary number of files, rather than limiting the work to a single pair. Users can manually correct line matching when the automatic alignment does not reflect the intended relationship between lines. Files can also be edited directly, allowing changes to be made during the comparison and merge process.

Diffuse includes syntax highlighting, support for UTF-8 encoded Unicode text, unlimited undo, and keyboard navigation. It can retrieve file revisions from Bazaar, CVS, Darcs, Git, Mercurial, Monotone, RCS, Subversion, and SVK repositories for comparison and merging. These capabilities make it applicable to text review and version-control workflows on Windows.

Diffuse is listed in the Windows section of MirrorNest as a link to the official release. MirrorNest links directly to that release instead of hosting or mirroring the software itself, so the download is obtained from the original distribution source. The product's license is unknown, and users should consult the official release information for licensing details.
