Quickly compare changes to all files in a TFS shelveset, changeset, or with pending changes.
Download

Quickly and easily compare all files in a changeset, shelveset, or with pending changes in TFS 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, 2019, 2017, 2015, and 2013.

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 Visual Studio.
  • 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).
