Rapid Review

A VS Code extension to compare all files between two selected folders, showing text differences using VS Code's built-in diff viewer.

Features

  • Select two folders in the VS Code Explorer
  • Right-click and choose "Compare Folders"
  • Automatically compares all matching files (same relative path) in both folders
  • Opens VS Code's diff view for each file pair
  • Handles nested subfolders and files recursively
  • No third-party dependencies required

Usage

  1. Open two folders in your VS Code workspace
  2. In the Explorer panel, select both folders (hold Ctrl/Cmd and click on them)
  3. Right-click on one of the selected folders
  4. Choose "Compare Folders" from the context menu
  5. Diff views will open for all files that exist in both folders with matching paths

Requirements

  • VS Code 1.110.0 or higher

Known Issues

  • Only compares files that exist in both folders with the same relative path
  • Files present in only one folder are not handled (could be added in future versions)
