To try them, go to Preferences and turn on Text Filters. With text filters, you can ignore text that matches a particular pattern or even use regular expressions to create complex filters. The text editor supports line numbers, whitespace, syntax highlighting, and text wrapping for a user-friendly experience.
The built-in version filter helps you compare any changes to the local vs repository file. Integrates with source control systems, such as Git, Bazaar, Mercurial, and SVN to perform version control tasks. The changes update in real-time, no matter how big the file gets. Click the arrows in a segment to copy or merge a block of one file with another. They give you a bird's-eye view of all changes, such as inserted, deleted, changed, or in conflict. On either side of the panels, you'll see two vertical bars with colored blocks. Any differences between them appear highlighted to make individual changes easier to see. To start a comparison, click the File module and select your files from Finder. On first launch, the app gives you an option to choose a comparison module. It has many customizable settings to make file comparison quick and easy. The user interface is intuitive and neatly packs all its functions into a handy menu. Meld is a simple, cross-platform diff and merge tool.
