Differ

The text differ has three areas.

  • Text diff (center)
    • This displays the diffed text. A yellow background indicates areas that have changed, and a grey background indicates areas which do not exist on that side of the file. A red highlight is applied to the currently selected conflict.
  • Minimap (far left)
    • This displays a minimap of the entire diff. You can click anywhere in the minimap to scroll the view to where you clicked.
  • Within-line diff (bottom)
    • This displays a character-by-character diff of the currently selected line.
