The extension allows the user to compare folders, show the diffs in a list and present diff in a splitted view side by side.

Options (under vscode settings)

• excludeFilter - glob string
• includeFilter - glob string
• compareContent - boolean - Compares files by content

Example

"compareFolders.excludeFilter": [
  "**/node_modules",
  "**/.svn",
  "**/.git"
]

Notice

• The extension works only when the vscode instance has one workspace (or one folder) or more. It's not working for empty workspace.
