VIMDIFF(1) VIMDIFF(1)
NAME
vimdiff - edit two, three or four versions of a file with Vim and show
differences
SYNOPSIS
vimdiff [options] file1 file2 [file3 [file4]]
gvimdiff
DESCRIPTION
Vimdiff starts Vim on two (or three or four) files. Each file gets its
own window. The differences between the files are highlighted. This
is a nice way to inspect changes and to move changes from one version
to another version of the same file.
See vim(1) for details about Vim itself.
When started as gvimdiff the GUI will be started, if available.
In each window the 'diff' option will be set, which causes the differ-
ences to be highlighted.
The 'wrap' and 'scrollbind' options are set to make the text look good.
The 'foldmethod' option is set to "diff", which puts ranges of lines
without changes in a fold. 'foldcolumn' is set to two to make it easy
to spot the folds and open or close them.
OPTIONS
Vertical splits are used to align the lines, as if the "-O" argument
was used. To use horizontal splits instead, use the "-o" argument.
For all other arguments see vim(1).
