Descriptions
Short (one sentence)
DiffScope is a free, fast and private diff and 3-way merge tool for Windows that compares text, folders and binary files and plugs straight into TortoiseGit and git.
Long (one paragraph)
DiffScope is a free diff and 3-way merge tool for Windows 10 and 11. It compares text files side by side with word-level highlighting, resolves merge conflicts in a three-way view with an editable result, compares whole folder trees and streams binary files of 100 MB and more into a hex view. It accepts the command-line syntax of TortoiseGit, git and Beyond Compare, so it can replace an existing diff tool without changing scripts, and its exit codes tell git exactly when a merge is finished. DiffScope is portable, needs no installer or admin rights, collects no data and never connects to the internet. Its diff and merge output is cross-checked against git and covered by more than 740 automated tests.
