Perform diff on two folders
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;
