Compare lines the two folders up and sorts everything into three buckets:
- Same in both folders.
- Changed, present in both but different.
- Only in one, present on the left or the right but not the other.
It is the check to run before you merge two copies, archive one, or delete the copy you were not sure about. For text files you can open a side-by-side diff.
Ignore files
Every diff view in Kamembert (Compare, Activity, and a project's Changes list) has a Use ignore files toggle. Turn it on and the matched differences are hidden, so generated output and dependencies stop burying the changes you actually care about.
- It reads
.gitignore,.ignore, and.fileignore. All three use the same gitignore syntax, so an existing repo's rules work as-is. - Rules are fully nested: each folder's own ignore file applies to that folder and below, and a deeper
!rulecan re-include something an outer rule excluded. .gitand.kamfolders are always skipped, listed or not.- It is a display filter only. The scan still measures every file. The toggle just hides matched rows and shows a count of how many were hidden, so nothing is silently dropped from your sizes.
