Meld is a great tool for files/directories comparison. Git on the other hand also provide diff command line tool, which some users may prefer too.

This tutorial shows several different methods for comparing two branches in Git. See examples and eliminate conflicts before merging.

Meld has a separate UI for viewing all changes in a directory. You can filter viewing files based on if they're same, changed, new.

git difftool mybranch master -- myfile.cs If you only have meld installed git should use it as the default difftool.

Meld is capable of loading many files at once (in tabs). However when used with git difftool, Git will ask if you want to view each file.
