Text file Diff and Merge
Posted: 04 Jan 2021, 15:12
Hi,
Hope this is the right forum......I'm wondering where I might find Windows utilities for:
a) producing and storing the differences between text files (are these called 'patch' files?), and
b) subsequently merging these difference files to recover original or intermediate files?
Both to run silently, ie., not looking for a visual / UI means of achieving this.
I've done a whole pile of interneting and, whilst I can turn up no end of revision / version control systems, I can't seem to find the underlying utilities I'm assuming these must be based on.
Most grateful for any thoughts / pointers in the right direction.
Cheers.
