How to use Compare 2 Files / Script

- Run the comparison and scan highlighted lines for additions, removals, and changed sections.
- Use the result to guide edits, reviews, or a more formal diff in your project tools.
Why use Compare 2 Files / Script
A side-by-side comparison is helpful when you receive code outside a repository, compare exported settings, review generated files, or check whether a copied script changed unexpectedly.
This tool is intentionally straightforward. It gives a readable visual comparison without requiring git, an IDE, or a desktop diff application. For complex merges, still use version control so changes can be applied safely.
Best for Compare Files
- Comparing scripts copied from two sources.
- Reviewing config or text exports.
- Spotting changed lines before replacing a file.
Practical notes
- Normalize line endings if a file appears entirely changed.
- Use a real merge tool when both sides need edits.
- Avoid pasting secrets into comparison tools on shared devices.
