Dunno what OS's it supports besides Windows but I use Kdiff for random comparisons regularly, I think it works pretty well untill you get to much larger files (20+ MB slows down a lot). The huge file wasn't code but needed to check output changes for those curious.
I constantly check git comparison with previous versions to see what changed to break things in a build though. Didn't know there was a way to diff any files in git,should probably just learn to use that one.
Git uses the
diff
binary under the hood (unless you configure it to use something else).You can invoke that directly with
diff file_a.txt file_b.txt
