To perform a recursive diff on all the files of two folders we just need to add the -r (or --recursive) parameter that recursively compares any subdirectories found.
To avoid needless messages from the tool, we can also use the -q (or --brief) parameter that reports only when files differ.
Example of performing diff on two folders recursively while preventing needless messages.
diff -rq aFolder someOtherFolder;
