I have two folders.
A is an older version of B, having been copied at some point.
There may be changes in A but that are not in B.
I wanna find out if there are any, and what they are if they exist.
How do i do that, preferably using Linux standard utils
@4censord I'd use `git diff --no-index A B`. The flag means it doesn't expect the folders to be in Git at all, just does the normal Git diff algorithm on their contents.
That's partly because I use Git all the time and like its diff behavior.
A more old-fashioned / classic-tools solution, with GNU diff: `diff -Nur`, or `diff -Nqr` first for a summary.
@gregprice ohhhh thats so good
I had no idea this flag exists at all
Thanks!
