        Using
        [Meld](https://meldmerge.org)
        or
        [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/)
        to accomplish file differencing.
        Useful for managing large numbers of repos / projects, particularly for templates.
        
        ## Scripts
        
        ```sh
        meld_all project/myfile.f90 ~/code
        ```
        
        graphically compares `project/myfile.f90` with every other file of the same name  recursively under `~/code`.
        
        ### Usage
        
        Particularly on Windows, the GUI may be invoked, but you don't see any difference.
        This is often because only one of the two files as a trailing `\n` or `\r\n`.
        Meld won't show any difference, even with all text filters off.
        Because of how Python `filecmp.cmp` works, there isn't a blazing fast simple solution to this.
        A possibly slow solution would be using str.replace.
        
        So just realize it's OK, close Meld when it shows no difference and happy comparing!
