# diff
> Compare files and directories.
- Compare files:
`diff {{file1}} {{file2}}`
- Compare files, ignoring white spaces:
`diff -w {{file1}} {{file2}}`
- Compare files, showing the differences side by side:
`diff -y {{file1}} {{file2}}`
- Compare files, showing the differences in unified format (as used by `git diff`):
`diff -u {{file1}} {{file2}}`
- Compare directories recursively:
`diff -r {{directory1}} {{directory2}}`
- Compare directories, only showing the names of files that differ:
`diff -rq {{directory1}} {{directory2}}`
