I have installed Meld as diff tool in Git. Is it possible to compare two folders using Git or any other way? I tried the following command but nothing happened.
git diff /c/sample/folder1/ /c/sample/folder2/
If you want to compare two directories on your disk, no need for git :
# use any suitable diff viewer : meld, kdiff3 ...
meld /c/sample/folder1/ /c/sample/folder2/
If you want to have a directory view for the diff between two commits in git :
git difftool -d <commit1> <commit2>
# you can also restrict this directory view to a subdir of your repo :
git difftool -d <commit1> <commit2> -- lib/
[update] to answer @DamianBirchler comment:
to compare two directories within a commit:
git difftool -d <commit>:path/to/dir1 <commit>:path/to/dir2
This actually works with any two commits (anything that points to two trees within git actually):
git difftool -d <commit1>:config <commit2>:new/path/to/config
