Developers, programmers, and anyone who needs to compare files and folders – these types of users are well advised to get Meld, a diff and merge tool that features two and three-way comparison of files and folders. Say you have a couple of TXT files. Load them side by side on Meld’s interface and the application will highlight the differences between the two files.

A setup wizard will guide you through the Meld installation process. Said wizard will invite you to pick and choose the components you want to install on your PC. Here are the choices that are put in front of you: Meld core files, Python, Start Menu shortcut, desktop shortcut, Send To Menu shortcut, Quick Launch shortcut. The whole installation process will not take much of your time.

Meld has a tabbed interface – tabs for all your comparisons are presented at the top of the application’s interface. When you launch the application, the main panel of the interface lists three comparison types: file comparison, directory comparison, version control view. Pick file comparison, select a couple of files, and said files will be displayed side by side on the interface, with the differences highlighted, of course.

Meld provides access to the following features and functionality: compare files and folders; two and three-way comparison of files and folders; merge the differences between files; auto-merge mode; differences between files are highlighted so you can more easily see them; support is provided for Git, Bazaar, Mercurial, Subversion, and other version control systems; built-in regex text filtering; edit files within the application; manage files within the application.

Meld is free software.

If you are a developer, the Meld diff and merge tool is sure to put a smile on your face.

Cons

None that I could think of.
