A tool to compare code in files between 2 folders

ghettogong · Mar 10, 2013

I would like to see the code changes I made in all my current wordpress files in comparison to a fresh install of the same version.

Tried: examdiff, winmerge, beyond compare, but they only compare files 1-to-1, not the entire folder.

Could someone throw me a stick...

Only thing I can thing of is to upload each install to two separate folders one host then visit them for your URL for example

domain/installone

domain/installtwo

Nah, you're just doing it wrong. Beyond Compare when it opens select Folders on top left (not files), open main folder from website 1 on top line and main folder for website 2 on second line. It will show all folders and files for each in two separate boxes. Highlight all of them on one side and at top click the compare button and it will show you all folders and files that are different on the other side in one go. No need to do them one by one.

I can normally compare 100k+ files in a few minutes. You can compare between 2 or 3 files, or 2 folders. If you do it on the folder level you can see which files are different and clicking on them will show the per-line difference.

You can compare full directories in beyond compare
