in-depth comparison of files, archives, and directories

Try diffoscope now…

diffoscope is a tool to get to the bottom of what makes files or directories different. It recursively unpacks archives of many kinds and transforms various binary formats into more human readable forms to compare them.

… or use the command-line interface:

$ pip install trydiffoscope  # or: sudo apt install trydiffoscope
$ trydiffoscope --webbrowser /path/to/file1 /path/to/file2
