About Meld
Meld is a visual diff and merge tool targeted at developers.
Meld helps you compare files, directories, and version controlled projects.
It provides two- and three-way comparison of both files and directories,
and supports many version control systems including Git, Mercurial,
Bazaar and Subversion.
Meld helps you review code changes, understand patches, and makes enormous
merge conflicts slightly less painful.

- Download the latest version there and run it. Choose Custom/Advanced where offered, and skip any bundled extras.
- Prefer the command line? With Flatpak you can install and update it with: flatpak install flathub org.gnome.meld
- Open Meld once it finishes installing.
