I think I have two directories with the same content, but I want to check it.
Also, I want to exclude a folder that is inside both directories.
How can I do it?

command line:
diff --exclude=direxclude -r dir1 dir2 openSUSE 12.1: ok.
sttr@linux-sgfb:/tmp> md dir1 sttr@linux-sgfb:/tmp> md dir2 sttr@linux-sgfb:/tmp> cd dir2 sttr@linux-sgfb:/tmp/dir2> md 10 sttr@linux-sgfb:/tmp/dir2> md 11 sttr@linux-sgfb:/tmp/dir2> md 12 sttr@linux-sgfb:/tmp/dir2> md 14 sttr@linux-sgfb:/tmp/dir2> cd .. sttr@linux-sgfb:/tmp> cd dir1 sttr@linux-sgfb:/tmp/dir1> md 15 sttr@linux-sgfb:/tmp/dir1> md 11 sttr@linux-sgfb:/tmp/dir1> md 12 sttr@linux-sgfb:/tmp/dir1> md 17 sttr@linux-sgfb:/tmp/dir1> cd .. sttr@linux-sgfb:/tmp> diff --exclude="11" -r dir1 dir2 Only in dir2: 10 Only in dir2: 14 Only in dir1: 15 Only in dir1: 17 sttr@linux-sgfb:/tmp> diff --exclude=11 -r dir1 dir2 Only in dir2: 10 Only in dir2: 14 Only in dir1: 15 Only in dir1: 17 sttr@linux-sgfb:/tmp> CentOS 6.3 64: ok.

- 2@STTR I understand that
-x foldernamecan be used to explicitly list all folders that shouldn't be used for comparison. Supposed I want to exclude all.gitfiles from being used in thediff, but there could be multiple.gitfolders across multiple directories. how would you do that?alpha_989– alpha_9892018-08-01 01:00:41 +00:00Commented Aug 1, 2018 at 1:00 - 2This answer doesn't really answers the question. It asks a way to ignore folder in both directories when diffing not to ignore ALL folders matching some name..Foto Blysk– Foto Blysk2019-05-09 16:13:59 +00:00Commented May 9, 2019 at 16:13
