The IDE's graphical Diff Viewer enables you to compare
revisions of a file side by side using color coding to emphasize the differences
between the files being compared.
To access the Diff Viewer, select a version-controlled file or folder (e.g. from the Projects, Files or Favorites window) and choose either Git > Diff from the right-click menu or Team > Git > Diff from the main menu.
