Here are the simple steps to compare the contents of two code files in VS Code.

It uses simple, yet strong commands that. So naturally VS code is my go-to tool for file comparison. Beyond Compare is another great file comparison tool that uses its intelligent technology to compare files and folders. I am using it for minor project development and even as a simple text editor. When you select two trees within the repository browser, or when you select two revisions of a folder in the log dialog, you can Context menu Compare.

Beyond Compare is not limited to comparing folders and files on. For me, VS Code comes in handy as it is cross platform and I am using it on both macOS and Windows. Beyond Compare marks the differences in information about the files or folders being compared. It has specialized views for different kinds of files and different approaches to reconciling. Even though there are several tools like Beyond Compare, Araxis Merge, etc… which have lot of comparison and merging features, I use Visual Studio Code for quick file comparison during development or otherwise. Beyond Compare handles a wide variety of comparison tasks. Lately I got questions asking for a quick lightweight tool to compare code files.
