Compare file versions
IntelliJ IDEA allows you to examine the differences between two revisions of a file, or between its 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.
