New comment by WalterGR in "How to build a `Git diff` driver"

WalterGR — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 02:25:53 +0000

Some alternatives to paid solutions:

WinMerge is excellent, open source, and while Windows-only, it runs well in Wine without needing any tweaks.

Kdiff is open source, cross-platform, and while I personally don’t love it, it supports 4-pane merge, which is quite ergonomic and rare.

I’ve been looking for something like this to cycle through browser windows. I’ll test it on Sequoia when I get a moment.

Does it support reverse cycling?
