Diff

Diff 2 opened files with ease. Because running code --diff path1 path2 is too slow.

Install

Follow the instructions in the Marketplace, or run the following in the command palette:

ext install fabiospampinato.vscode-diff

Usage

It adds 1 command to the command palette:

'Diff: File' // Diff the current file against another one

Settings

{
  "diff.exclude": null, // An array of globs to exclude, unless specificed it uses the "files.exclude" setting
  "diff.ignore": [".gitignore"], // An array of names for .gitignore-like files to use
  "diff.include": ["**/*"], // An array of globs to include
  "diff.showUntitledFiles": true, // Whether to show untitled files in the selector or not
  "diff.showOpenFiles": true, // Whether to show open files at the top of the selector or not
  "diff.showFoundFiles": true, // Whether to show other found files in the selector or not
  "diff.showFoundRelativeFiles": false // Whether to show other found files, using relative paths, in the selector or not
}

Hints

• Diff against previous versions: sometimes diffing against open files is not what you want, try Git File History for diffing against previous versions of the current file.
