Can SourceTree show diff side by side

Question

I recently started using SourchTree.

The default difference format is to use "-" or "+" to display the changes.
I like to have 2 files side by side and show the line change line.

However, I cannot find an option to change the format. You can help?

Answer 1

If you don’t see any side-by-side diff button on the diff screen, then setting up diffftool in SourceTree is a good solution.

See, for example, How to use Meld as a tool for merging with SourceTree on Windows? "

Using an external comparison tool (supporting a side view) is more reliable than the original tool parameters here.

Answer 2

No, I really hope to see this feature in some future releases.
