NAME
vimdiff - edit between two and eight versions of a file with Vim and show differencesSYNOPSIS
vimdiff [options] file1 file2 [file3 [file4 [file5 [file6 [file7 [file8]]]]]]gvimdiff
DESCRIPTION
Vimdiff starts Vim on two up to eight files. Each file gets its own window. The differences between the files are highlighted. This is a nice way to inspect changes and to move changes from one version to another version of the same file.See vim(1) for details about Vim itself.
When started as gvimdiff the GUI will be started, if available.
In each window the 'diff' option will be set, which causes the
differences to be highlighted.
The 'wrap' and 'scrollbind' options are set to make the text look good.
The 'foldmethod' option is set to "diff", which puts ranges of lines
without changes in a fold. 'foldcolumn' is set to two to make it easy to
spot the folds and open or close them.
OPTIONS
Vertical splits are used to align the lines, as if the "-O" argument was used. To use horizontal splits instead, use the "-o" argument.For all other arguments see vim(1).
