NAME

meld - compare and merge files

SYNOPSIS

meld directory
meld file1 file2 [file3]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the meld command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

meld is a program that graphically displays the difference between two files, and allows the user to merge the changes individually. It also does three-way merge, that is it shows the differences between two files which have a common ancestor, and allows the user to merge both sets of changes into a new file.

Meld can also be used with CVS, allowing you to view the changes you have made locally and merge with the latest revision available.
