Synopsis
vimdiff [options]file1 file2[file3] gvimdiff [options]file1 file2[file3]
Edit two or three files with vim, highlighting the differences. If
invoked as gvimdiff, the GUI is
used instead. This sets the diff, wrap, and scrollbind options. It also sets
foldmethod=diff and foldcolumn=2, which puts ranges of lines
that aren’t changed into a fold and makes folds easy to
spot.
By default, the screen is split vertically, as if with
-O. Use -o to get a horizontal
split.
