NAME
|
|
vimdiff - edit two or three versions of a file with Vim and show dif-
|
|
ferences
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
vimdiff [options] file1 file2 [file3]
|
|
|
|
gvimdiff
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Vimdiff starts Vim on two (or three) 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).
