DESCRIPTION
Meld is a graphical diff viewer and merge application for the Gnome desktop. It supports 2 and 3-file diffs, recursive directory diffs, diffing of directories under version control (Arch, Bazaar, Codeville, CVS, Darcs, Git, Mercurial, Monotone, RCS), as well as the ability to manually and automatically merge file differences.OPTIONS
- --auto-compare, -a
-
Automatically compare all differing files on startup. - --diff FILE1|DIR1 FILE2|DIR2 [FILE3|DIR3]
-
Create a diff tab for the given files or directories. Note that "meld --diff FILE1 FILE2" is functionally equivalent to "meld FILE1 FILE2". However, the --diff argument can be given multiple times for one invocation of meld which allows the user to automatically initiate multiple diffs when meld starts. See examples below. - --help, -h
-
Print application help and usage. - --LABEL=<label>, -L <label>
-
Set application window title to <label>. - --version
-
Print application version and exit.
EXAMPLES

-

-
Initiate a recursive 3-way diff between directory DIR1, DIR2, and DIR3. - meld --diff FILE1 FILE2 --diff FILE3 FILE4
