About Meld
==========

Meld is a visual diff and merge tool targeted at developers. Meld helps you
compare files, directories, and version controlled projects. It provides
two- and three-way comparison of both files and directories, and supports
many version control systems including Git, Mercurial, Bazaar and Subversion.

Meld helps you review code changes, understand patches, and makes enormous
merge conflicts slightly less painful.

Meld is licensed under the GPL v2 or later.


Requirements
------------

* GTK+ 3.6
* GLib 2.34
* PyGObject 3.8
* GtkSourceView 3.6


Running
-------

Meld can be run directly from this directory. Just type:

 * `bin/meld`

Alternatively, you can install Meld system-wide by running:

 * `python setup.py install`

...but you should probably just get a RPM/deb/installer instead, depending on
your system. Meld packages are available for just about every *nix
distribution, and can be installed on OSX using MacPorts/Fink/etc. See the wiki
for options for getting Meld working on Windows.
