description

This is a utility that performs a recursive diff on two directories and generate a diff "window".  Based on that window you can perform various diff operations such as opening two files in Vim's diff mode, copy the file or directory recursively to the other, or remove the directory tree from the source directory.

install details

The preferred way now to install DirDiff is to use a pathogen like tools.  The GitHub repo is at:      https://github.com/will133/vim-dirdiff.   Alternatively, you can unzip the .zip file in your ~/.vim/ directory and run :helptags to generate your documentation.   Doing the following will generate a diff window.       :DirDiff <A:Src Directory> <B:Src Directory>   e.g.       :DirDiff ../something/dir1 /usr/bin/somethingelse/dir2   The following commands can be used inside the diff window:   'Enter','o' - Diff open: open the diff file(s) where your cursor is at   's' - Synchronize the current diff.  You can also select         a range (through visual) and press 's' to synchronize differences         across a range.         - There are 6 Options you can choose when you hit 's':           1. A -> B              Copy A to overwrite B              If A's file actually points to a directory, it'll copy it to B              recursively.           2. B -> A              Copy B to overwrite A              If B's file actually points to a directory, it'll copy it to A              recursively.           3. Always A              For the rest of the items that you've selected,              synchronize like (1).           4. Always B              For the rest of the items that you've selected,              synchronize like (2).           5. Skip              Skip this diff entry.           6. Cancel              Quit the loop and exit.   'u' - Diff update: update the diff window   'x' - Sets the exclude pattern, separated by ','   'i' - Sets the ignore pattern, separated by ','   'a' - Sets additional arguments for diff, eg. -w to ignore white space,         etc.   'q' - Quit DirDiff      The following comamnds can be used in the Vim diff mode   \dg - Diff get: maps to :diffget<CR>   \dp - Diff put: maps to :diffput<CR>   \dj - Diff next: (think j for down)   \dk - Diff previous: (think k for up)   You can set the following DirDiff variables.  You can add the following   "let" lines in your .vimrc file.   Sets default exclude pattern:       let g:DirDiffExcludes = "CVS,*.class,*.exe,.*.swp"   Sets default ignore pattern:       let g:DirDiffIgnore = "Id:,Revision:,Date:"   If DirDiffSort is set to 1, sorts the diff lines.       let g:DirDiffSort = 1   Sets the diff window (bottom window) height (rows)       let g:DirDiffWindowSize = 14   Ignore case during diff       let g:DirDiffIgnoreCase = 0   Dynamically figure out the diff text.  If you are using and i18n version   of diff, this will try to get the specific diff text during runtime.  It's   turned off by default.  If you are always targetting a specific version of   diff, you can turn this off and set the DirDiffText* variables   accordingly.       let g:DirDiffDynamicDiffText = 0   String used for the English equivalent "Files "       let g:DirDiffTextFiles = "Files "   String used for the English equivalent " and "       let g:DirDiffTextAnd = " and "   String used for the English equivalent " differ")       let g:DirDiffTextDiffer = " differ"   String used for the English equivalent "Only in ")       let g:DirDiffTextOnlyIn = "Only in "
