Problem

How to use the sdiff command: Compare the differences between and optionally merge 2 files. More information: <https://manned.org/sdiff>.

Solution

sdiff — Compare the differences between and optionally merge 2 files. More information: <https://manned.org/sdiff>.

Compare 2 files:
sdiff {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}


Compare 2 files, ignoring all tabs and whitespace:
sdiff {{[-W|--ignore-all-space]}} {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}


Compare 2 files, ignoring whitespace at the end of lines:
sdiff {{[-Z|--ignore-trailing-space]}} {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}


Compare 2 files in a case-insensitive manner:
sdiff {{[-i|--ignore-case]}} {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}


Compare and then merge, writing the output to a new file:
sdiff {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/merged_file}} {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}
