Compare Files in Linux | How to Use the diff Command
Ғылым және технология
The diff command in Linux stands for difference. It is used to display the differences in the files by comparing them line by line. This is a useful tool for identifying the differences between two versions of a file, whether it be a code file or a document. In this video @LearnLinuxTV will show you how to use the basic syntax of the "diff" command, as well as some of the options that you can use to customize the output.

That beard and mustache is a good fit for you. 👍 And thanks for bringing the 'diff' command up. I forgot about it. Now I don't have to download a UI version to check file differences. Isn't it grand that Linux keeps everything in a file!? 😎
Good video 👍
Thanks
Useful, not one I've used before. But have heard of it.
Oooo...I found diff3, which can compare 3 files at once. 🤓
I liked 👍
oh my gosh! someone who actually speaks English!
Do diff3 next... diff3! diff3! diff3! ✊
Just wondering... I checked the man pages, and find that diff --color will also yield a colored output. Is there any advantage to using colordiff?

I think that colordiff might be a little more "personalized". We'll have to test them to see the differences. I see that there is quite a bit of perl code in that colordiff file...

Based on this StackExchange post, --color and colordiff affected files for certain users differently. Not sure if this is still the case but at some point there was a difference. unix.stackexchange.com/questions/196565/how-to-color-diff-output
I've always wondered how to use that...
20 yrs ago I remember that I had two very large .doc files that should be the same. I used some commnd to merge the two files to a new .doc. file. I can´t remember how I did it. Maybe topic for next video?

You can use the cat command to merge files. Jay's got a video that covers it on his other channel here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rGeirM6yoq2_h5c.html
