Meld helps you\ncompare files, directories, and version controlled projects. It provides\ntwo- and three-way comparison of both files and directories, and supports\nmany version control systems including Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, CVS and Subversion.\n\nMeld helps you review code changes, understand patches, and makes enormous\nmerge conflicts slightly less painful.\n\nMeld is licensed under the GPL v2 or later.\n\n\nRequirements\n------------\n\n* Python 3.6\n* pycairo (Python3 bindings for cairo without GObject layer)\n* PyGObject 3.36 (Python3 bindings for GObject introspection)\n* gsettings-desktop-schemas\n\nAnd following packages with GObject introspection:\n\n* GLib 2.36\n* Pango\n* PangoCairo\n* GTK+ 3.22\n* GtkSourceView 4.0\n\n\nBuild requirements\n------------------\n\n* Python 3.6\n* Meson 0.48\n* Ninja\n* gettext\n* GLib 2.36 and its development utilities such as `glib-compile-schemas`\n\nFor Windows build requirements, see `mingw-common` section `.gitlab-ci.yml`\n\n\nRunning\n-------\n\nYou *do not* need to build Meld in order to run it. Meld can be run directly\nfrom this source directory by running:\n\n```sh\n$ bin/meld\n```\n\nUnix users should get Meld from their distribution package manager, or from\n[Flathub](https://flathub.org/).\n\nWindows users should download the provided MSIs on the\n[Meld home page](https://meld.app/).\n\nOSX users can install Meld using Homebrew (or Macports, Fink, etc.), or there\nare unofficial native builds available from the\n[Meld for OSX](https://yousseb.github.io/meld/) project.\n\n\nBuilding\n--------\n\nMeld uses [meson](https://mesonbuild.com/) build system. Use the following\ncommands to build Meld from the source directory:\n\n```sh\n$ meson _build\n$ cd _build\n$ ninja\n```\n\nYou can then install Meld system-wide by running:\n\n```sh\n$ ninja install\n```\n\nA Windows installer can be built with command\n\n```powershell\nC:\\Python34\\python.exe setup_win32.py bdist_msi\n```\n\nwhich will create the file `dist/Meld-VERSION-ARCH.msi`.\n\n\nDeveloping\n----------\n\nIt's easy to get started developing Meld. From a git checkout, just run\n`bin/meld`.\n\nYou'll need to have installed everything listed in the Requirements section\nabove, and also GLib development tools (for `glib-compile-resources`).\n\nWe also support development using Flatpak via GNOME Builder. At the Builder\n\"Clone...\" dialog, enter https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld.git, and the\ndefault build + run development flow using Flatpak should work.\n\n\nContributing\n------------\n\nMeld uses GNOME's GitLab to track bugs, and user questions and development\ndiscussions happen on the Meld mailing list. The development team is small,\nand new contributors are always welcome!\n\nList of issues: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/issues\n\nSupport forum:  https://discourse.gnome.org/tag/meld\n\n\n\nLinks\n-----\n\nHome page:      https://meld.app/\n\nDocumentation:  https://meld.app/help/\n\nWiki:           https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/wikis/home\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["\u003ca id=\"tag-dev\" href=\"#tag-dev\"\u003eDev\u003c/a\u003e","Python","Development Environment"],"sub_categories":["\u003ca id=\"tag-dev.code_review\" href=\"#tag-dev.code_review\"\u003eCode Review\u003c/a\u003e","Version Control"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FGNOME%2Fmeld","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FGNOME%2Fmeld","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FGNOME%2Fmeld/lists"}
