Compare/Merge view
The Compare/Merge view displays contributor and/or output files for either compare operations or merge operations, depending on the context in which the view was accessed.
You can use the Compare/Merge view to:
- Compare directories
- Compare text files
- Merge directories
- Merge text files
To compare files or directories using the Compare/Merge view, right-click a directory or file and select Compare with Predecessor to compare the resource to its preceding version or select Compare with Another ClearCase Version to compare the resource to a version other than its predecessor.
The Compare/Merge view is used for merging files or directories any time a
manual merge is started as the result of an operation.
Note: You can also use Eclipse tools to
compare and merge text files but not to compare and merge directories.
You can also search for text in the Compare/Merge view with the ClearCase Find Text tool.
