diffoscope

Compare files, archives, and directories.

• Compare two files:

diffoscope {path/to/file1} {path/to/file2}

• Compare two files without displaying a progress bar:

diffoscope --no-progress {path/to/file1} {path/to/file2}

• Compare two files and write an HTML-report to a file (use `-` for stdout):

diffoscope --html {path/to/outfile|-} {path/to/file1} {path/to/file2}

• Compare two directories excluding files with a name matching a specified pattern:

diffoscope --exclude {pattern} {path/to/directory1} {path/to/directory2}

• Compare two directories and control whether directory metadata is considered:

diffoscope --exclude-directory-metadata {auto|yes|no|recursive} {path/to/directory1} {path/to/directory2}
