Compare file and folder versions

GoLand allows you to examine the differences between two revisions of a file/folder or between their current local copy and the repository version. The differences are displayed in the Differences viewer. For details on how to filter, navigate and apply changes in the Differences Viewer, see Compare files, folders, and text sources.

Compare a modified file with its repository version

  1. Open the Commit tool window Alt+0.

  2. Locate the required file in a changelist and do one of the following:

    • Select the file and click diff icon on the toolbar or press Control+D

    • Double-click the file

  3. The diff view opens where changes to the file are highlighted.

    The right pane contains the modified version of the file. You can edit it in the diff view.

    The left pane contains the initial version of the file. It is read-only. You can click Revert (Revert) to undo a change.
