Quickly and easily compare all files in Git (a commit or Staged/Unstaged files) or TFS (a changeset, shelveset, or files with pending changes) to see what has changed. Instead of clicking on each file individually and choosing to compare it with a different version, just click one button to compare all of the files.

You may edit the extension's settings from the Tools -> Options... -> Diff All Files settings page.

Visit the Diff All Files project homepage for more information or to make a feature request or bug report.

This extension is also available for Visual Studio 2022, 2017, 2015, 2013, and 2012.

Features

• Compare files one at a time, many files at a time, or with all files combined in a single file.
• Uses the same diff (i.e. compare) tool that you have configured in your .gitconfig (for Git) and Visual Studio (for TFVC). e.g. KDiff, Beyond Compare, Visual Studio, etc.
• Exclude comparing files with specific extensions, or files that have been added or deleted from source control.
• Button to quickly close all diff tool windows that have been opened.
• Specify the file versions to compare against (i.e. Unmodified, Workspace, Previous, Latest).
• Supports both Git and TFVC source control providers. Git support is only available in v16.6 and prior.

Git Support

Please go up-vote this feature request to have Microsoft add Git extensibility points to new versions of Visual Studio to allow this extension to work with Git again.

Change Log

v1.0.6 - November 14, 2021

Fixes:

• Prevent NumberOfIndividualFilesToCompareAtATime from ever being zero and resulting in divide by zero error.

v1.0.5 - May 23, 2020

Fixes:

• Fix bug where settings were not saved and would always revert back to defaults.

v1.0.4 - May 26, 2019

Fixes:

• Re-enable asynchronous loading on background thread, as VS 2019 v16.1+ now disables all synchronous extensions by default. This re-introduces the issue where the control shows an error instead of loading properly if it's visible right away at Visual Studio startup, but at least the extension will be usable again, and that error has an easy work around of just going to the Home tab in Team Explorer and then back to the Changes tab, until it can be fixed properly.

v1.0.3 - May 24, 2019

Fixes:

• Allow extension to be installed on all versions of Visual Studio 2019 (e.g. v16.x), not just v16.0.

v1.0.2 - April 12, 2019

Fixes:

• Remove asynchronous loading on background thread, as it would cause the UI to throw errors if the controls were visible right away at Visual Studio startup.

v1.0.1 - April 7, 2019

Fixes:

• Remove unnecessary dependencies preventing installation on some systems.

v1.0.0 - April 7, 2019

Initial release of VS 2019 version of extension.
