TL;DR

sdiff

Compare the differences between and optionally merge 2 files. More information: https://manned.org/sdiff.

  • Compare 2 files:

sdiff path/to/file1 path/to/file2

  • Compare 2 files, ignoring all tabs and whitespace:

sdiff -W path/to/file1 path/to/file2

  • Compare 2 files, ignoring whitespace at the end of lines:

sdiff -Z path/to/file1 path/to/file2

  • Compare 2 files in a case-insensitive manner:

sdiff -i path/to/file1 path/to/file2

  • Compare and then merge, writing the output to a new file:

sdiff -o path/to/merged_file path/to/file1 path/to/file2
