Diff with vimdiff
by Danilo • January 20, 2011 • Tips, Utilities • 0 Comments
For those who are vim fans, a quick tip on how to run a diff/merge task:
Open the files with:
vimdiff file1 file2 file3 –> Vertical split is default
vimdiff -o file1 file2 file3 –> If you’d like horizontal split of files
To jump between files:
Ctrl-W w
To jump places where differences are found:
]c –> to see next part of a change
[c --> to go back to the start of a previous part of a change
These are just the quick basics, there are a ton of other commands listed on Vim’s documentation page.
