About Diffuse
Diffuse compares and merges text files in a side-by-side view and is not limited to two or three panes, so n-way merges are possible. You can correct line matching by hand and edit the files directly, with syntax highlighting, unlimited undo and keyboard navigation.
It can pull file revisions straight from version control systems including Git, Mercurial, Subversion, Bazaar, CVS, Darcs, Monotone and RCS for comparison and merging.
Strengths
- Compares an arbitrary number of files at once
- Manual correction of line matching
- Reads revisions from many version control systems
- Direct editing with syntax highlighting
