vdiff

Vdiff, short for "visual diff," is a tool used in software development to compare two versions of a file or directory, typically to identify differences between them. It is particularly useful in version control systems like Git, where it helps developers understand changes made to code, documentation, or other files. Vdiff tools can display differences in various formats, including side-by-side comparisons, unified diffs, and patch files. These tools often highlight added, removed, and modified lines, making it easier to review and merge changes. Vdiff can be integrated into integrated development environments (IDEs), text editors, and command-line interfaces, providing flexibility in how developers choose to work. By visualizing differences, vdiff aids in maintaining code quality, resolving conflicts, and ensuring that changes are correctly implemented.
