  • Q: I'd like to participate. How do I begin?

    • 0

      First head over to the github page of tdiff3 (https://github.com/Griffon26/tdiff3) and follow the instructions under "Compiling from source" in the readme. Then contact me by e-mail (griffon26@kfk4ever.com) and tell me a bit about your programming experience or about what you think is the most important missing feature in tdiff3 at the moment.

      If you're an experienced programmer, feel free to generate the documentation (makedocs.sh) and take a look at the diagram on the "app" page. That'll give you an idea of the design of the application.

      • Tip:

        Discuss documentation, testing, webmastering, and/or publicity.

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        We need people to download version 0.4.5 and make sure the frobulator still frobulates correctly.

  • Q: What's a good bug for a newcomer to tackle?

      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

  • Q: What is a bug or issue with tdiff3 that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

    • [X]

      • Examples:

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.

      • Note:

        If this issue was formally filed on the web, be sure to include the URL.

About tdiff3

(logo)

A text-based 3-way diff/merge tool that can handle large files

This program is based on the merge algorithm of kdiff3, but was written from scratch in D (http://dlang.org).

The differences with kdiff3 (and possibly other diff/merge programs) are:
* it runs in a terminal (no dependency on X or Qt)
* it was designed to handle very large files efficiently, both in terms of speed as well as in the amount of memory it uses

from the profile of Maurice van der Pot (Griffon26)

The code is mostly written in D.
