I have two folders in a VS Code project and I need to compare those two folders for new, deleted or modified files.

I have seen file compare feature and third party folder compare features, but is there any native VS Code feature for folder comparison I could use. If the answer is No, then which third party plugin is considered as the best though experience.

Thanks!

>Solution :

No.

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=moshfeu.compare-folders claims to compare folders, but I can’t speak to its effectiveness.

Usually I would just use diff -r or some type of git diff compare, as comparing a lot of files can sometimes not be a fun thing to do manually.

If both folders are git trees it becomes possible to compare them with git diff commands.
