DiffFinder for VS2019

DiffFinder (from rajeevboobna / shelvesetcomparer) extends the existing hamidshahid / shelvesetcomparer Visual Studio extension. ShelvesetComparer is a Visual Studio extension that allow users to compare contents of two shelvesets (from on or different users).

DiffFinder extends it to also

  • allow comparison of a shelveset with current workspace local pending changes
  • compare shelvesets targeting different branches, e.g. $/BranchA/path/to/file1 with $/BranchB/path/to/file1

In the comparison list following color coding is used:

  • black: no difference / both files are identical
  • red: differences / both files differ
  • blue: file exists only in one of the compared containers (Shelveset or Pending Changes)
