Meld is a visual diff and merge tool targeted at developers. It provides two- and three-way comparison of both files and directories, and has support for many popular version control systems. It might even help you to figure out what is going on in that merge you keep avoiding.
Partition management software programs let you create, delete, shrink, expand, split, or merge partitions on your hard drives or other storage devices.
- Change both External Diff Tool and Merge Tool to Custom. In the Diff Command field enter the full path to the vsdiffmerge.exe. In the Diff Command field enter the full path to the vsdiffmerge.exe. For VS 2015 and below you can find it in the Visual Studio installation folder, under Common7 IDE subfolder.
- I'm looking for instructions on using any merge tool with source tree. Preferably a built in or default one so I don't have to worry about installing something new. I'm on a Mac and when I open 'External diff' it comes up with something called FileMerge and I can't make it do anything - selecting 'choose right' does nothing.
You can certainly partition a hard drive in Windows without extra software, but you won't be able to do things like resize them or combine them without some extra help.
Safe, easy to use partition tools weren't always available, and even when you did find something you liked, it was expensive. These days, there are plenty of completely free disk partition software programs that even the novice tinkerer will love.
Whether you're expanding your Windows system partition, shrinking it to make room for an operating system dual-boot setup, or combining your two media partitions for those new UHD movie rips, these free disk partition tools will sure come in handy.
MiniTool Partition Wizard Free
What We Like
Supports lots of common disk partitioning tasks
Lets you extend the system partition without having to restart
Simulates changes before you save them
The program is really easy to use
Works well in all modern versions of Windows
What We Don't Like
Dealing with dynamic disks is not supported
Some features that look free are only available if you purchase the program
MiniTool Partition Wizard includes more partition management tools than most similar programs, even ones you might pay for.
Not only does the free MiniTool Partition Wizard support regular functions like formatting, deleting, moving, resizing, splitting, merging, and copying partitions, but it also can check the file system for errors, run a surface test, wipe partitions with various data sanitization methods, and align partitions.
In addition to the above, MiniTool Partition Wizard is able to move the operating system to a different hard drive as well as recover lost or deleted partitions. There's also a file recovery program, disk space analyzer, and benchmark tool built in.
Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP are the supported operating systems.
One thing I don't like about MiniTool Partition Wizard is that it doesn't support manipulating dynamic disks.
AOMEI Partition Assistant SE
What We Like
Includes an easy-to-use, step-by-step wizard
Changes you make are queued and not applied until you specifically apply all of them at once
Lots of useful features are included
Many of the options are readily available without having to sift through menus
Can run from a bootable program to work with a hard drive that doesn't have an OS installed
What We Don't Like
Some features are only available if you pay for them
Unable to convert between primary partitions and logical partitions
Can't convert dynamic disks to basis disks
AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition has a lot more options that are out in the open (as well as hidden away in menus) than many other free partition software tools, but doesn't let that scare you away.
You can resize, merge, create, format, align, split, and recover partitions with AOMEI Partition Assistant, as well as copy whole disks and partitions.
Some of the partition management features with AOMEI's tool are limited and offered only in their paid, professional version. One such feature is the ability to convert between primary and logical partitions.
This program can be used in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP.
You can also use AOMEI Partition Assistant to create a bootable Windows flash drive, move an operating system to an entirely different hard drive, and wipe all the data from a partition or drive.
Active@ Partition Manager
What We Like
It's really easy to use and understand
Some changes you make can be restored from a backup
Many common disk partitioning tasks are supported
What We Don't Like
Can't copy partitions
Extending the system partition might not work for you
Won't downsize locked volumes
Active@ Partition Manager can create new partitions out of unallocated space as well as manage existing partitions, like resizing and formatting them. Simple wizards make it easy to walk through some of these tasks.
No matter what kind of file system you're using, the free Active@ Partition Manager tool should be able to handle it, with support for all the common ones, like FAT, NTFS, HFS+, and EXT2/3/4.
Active@ Partition Manager includes other features, too, like imaging a whole drive for backup purposes, converting between MBR and GPT, creating FAT32 partitions as large as 1 TB, editing boot records, and rolling back changes by auto-backing up partition layouts.
When Active@ Partition Manager resizes a partition, you can define the custom size in either megabytes or sectors.
Unfortunately, Active@ Partition Manager can't resize locked volumes, which means it won't let you change the size of the system volume.
• Someone else probably checked into this already, but it was commented that the source code of the offending URL attempted to load a Chrome extension, but that it was one that didn't show up in the Chrome web store. However, I am still seeing tons and tons of connections from 127.0.0.1 (plus a huge range of port numbers), linked to many processes on my machine, all of which look like things that are supposed to be running (Google Drive Sync, my employer's Sophos update service, Firefox -- I've been using only Firefox since this started). Best video tool for using on mac and google chrome. Take that for whatever it's worth -- I don't know enough to know whether this is a bad sign or perfectly normal..
Active@ Partition Manager should work just fine with Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP, as well as Windows Server 2012, 2008, and 2003.
Active@ Partition Manager is also able to enlarge the system partition, but in our testing we find that it always results in a BSOD. There's more on this in the review.
EaseUS Partition Master Free Edition
What We Like
Easy to understand with lots of useful options
Lets you protect the program with a password
Makes it easy to upgrade the system drive to a larger HDD
Several helpful options and functions
Changes are previewed before they're applied
The program updates often with improvements and new features
What We Don't Like
Doesn't work for commercial use; only personal
No support for managing dynamic volumes
You have to restart the computer to extend the system partition
Can't convert between MBR and GPT
Setup tries to install another program
Managing the size of a partition in EaseUS Partition Master is dead simple thanks to their easy to use slider that lets you drag left and right to shrink or expand a partition.
Changes you apply to a partition in EaseUS Partition Master aren't actually applied in real time. Modifications exist only virtually, which means you're only seeing a preview of what will happen if you save the changes, but nothing is actually set in stone yet. Changes don't take effect until you click the Execute button.
I particularly like this feature so things like expanding and copying partitions can be done in one swipe instead of having to reboot between each operation, thus saving tons of time. The list of pending operations is even shown on the side of the program so you can clearly see what will happen when you apply them.
You can also password protect EaseUS Partition Master, hide partitions, upgrade the system drive to a larger bootable drive, merge partitions, defragment a drive, and copy Windows to a different hard drive.
One thing I don't like about this program is that several features are only available in the full, paid version, but are still clickable. This means you might sometimes try to open something in the free version only to be prompted to buy the professional one.
EaseUS Partition Master works with Windows 10, back through Windows XP.
Partition Master's setup routine will install EaseUS Todo Backup Free and a couple other programs along with the Partition Master..unless you uncheck that option.
GParted
What We Like
Works no matter what operating system is installed (or even if there isn't one)
Final fantasy xiv character creator. It's been playable from the start, been on the Mac client since day one, you just need a decent Mac with a decent GPU (no, your 2011 Mac will not run FFXIV =). They clearly posted the requirements, which they should have done in the first place.
Every change can be applied nearly instantly without a reboot
Lets you hide partitions
Adjusting the size of a partition is really easy
Supports lots of file systems
What We Don't Like
Takes longer to start up because you have to boot to the software
Partitions are easy to miss because they're hidden in a menu
Takes much longer to download than most disk partitioning programs
No redo option (just an undo)
GParted runs entirely from a bootable disc or USB device, but it still has a full user interface like a regular program, so it's not at all difficult to use.
Editing a partition's size is easy because you can choose the exact size of the free space before and after the partition, using either a regular text box or a sliding bar to visually see the size increase or decrease.
A partition can be formatted in any one of several different file system formats, some of which include EXT2/3/4, NTFS, FAT16/32, and XFS.
Changes GParted makes to disks are queued up and then applied with one click. Because it runs outside the operating system, pending changes don't require a reboot, which means you can get things done that much quicker.
A small but particularly annoying issue with GParted is that it doesn't list all the available partitions on one screen like most other free disk partitioning programs. You have to open each disk separately from a drop down menu, which is actually easy to miss if you're not sure where to look.
GParted is around 300 MB, which is much larger than most of the other programs on our list, so it may take some time to download.
Cute Partition Manager
What We Like
Runs on any computer, with or without an OS
It's easy to delete and create partitions
Can format a drive to one of many file systems
The download size is really small
What We Don't Like
No graphical user interface
Takes a while to start using because you have to boot to the software
Must enter the exact size of the partition you want to make
Doesn't save changes automatically
No option to restart or exit the program
No longer updates
Like GParted, Cute Partition Manager doesn't run from within the OS. Instead, you must install it to a bootable device like a disc or a flash drive. This means you can use it even if you don't have an operating system installed at all.
Cute Partition Manager can be used to change the file system of a disk and create or delete partitions. Any changes you make are queued up and can be undone because they are only applied when you save them.
Cute Partition Manager is completely text-based. This means you can't use your mouse to select the different options — it's all done with the keyboard. Don't let this scare you off, though; there aren't that many menus and so it's not really a problem.

Macrorit Partition Expert
What We Like
Program interface makes it easy to use and understand what you're doing
Supports common and advanced features
Queues changes until you apply them all at once
Everything you're able to do is shown outright; no hidden menu options
There's a portable option
What We Don't Like
Doesn't support dynamic disks
Free for personal use only
Can't manipulate disks bigger than 32 TB
I love Macrorit Partition Expert's user interface because it's super clean and uncluttered, making it very easy to use. All the available operations are listed out on the side, and none of them are hidden away in menus.
Some of the actions you can perform to a disk with Macrorit Partition Expert include resize, move, delete, copy, format, and wipe a volume, as well as change the volume's label, convert between a primary and logical volume, and run a surface test.
Like most of the partition management software in this list, Macrorit Partition Expert doesn't actually make any changes to the partitions until you apply them with the Commit button.
One thing I don't like about Macrorit Partition Expert is that it doesn't support dynamic disks.
A portable version is also available from the Macrorit website.
Paragon Partition Manager Free
What We Like
Mac Merg Tool For Source Tree Git
Supports plenty of basic features
Walks you through a step-by-step wizard
Previews changes before committing to them
Supports common file systems
What We Don't Like
Missing features found in most disk partitioning tools
Not every feature is free to use; some require you to upgrade to the pro version
Not free for business usage; just personal
If walking through wizards helps you feel more comfortable making changes to partitions, then you'll like Paragon Partition Manager Free.
Whether you're creating a new partition or resizing, deleting, or formatting an existing one, this program has you move through a step by step process to do it.
Paragon Partition Manager Free supports common file systems like NTFS, FAT32, and HFS.
Unfortunately, a number of additional features are disabled in Paragon Partition Manager, available only in the pro version.
IM-Magic Partition Resizer
What We Like
Quick install
Lots of options
Seagate nas discovery tool. Accessing all the options from anywhere is easy
Shows a preview of what will happen after you save the changes
What We Don't Like
Some features only work if you upgrade to the paid version
Free for home/personal use only
IM-Magic Partition Resizer works very much like the tools mentioned above. It installs quickly and is super simple to use.
With this tool, you can move partitions, resize partitions (even the active one), copy partitions, as well as change the drive letter and label, check the partition for errors, delete and format partitions (even with a custom cluster size), convert NTFS to FAT32, hide partitions, and wipe all that data off of partitions.
All of those actions are extremely easy to find because you just have to right-click the device you want to manipulate. As you perform these actions, you'll see the program update in real time to reflect them so that you can see how it will look when everything has been applied.
Then, when you're happy with the results, just hit the big Apply Changes button to put everything into action. If you have to reboot for anything to take effect, IM-Magic Partition Resizer will tell you so.
You can also view the properties of any drive, to see its NT object name, GUID, file system, sector size, cluster size, partition number, physical sector number, total number of hidden sectors, and more.
The only downfall I can see with this program is that a few of the features require that you upgrade to a paid edition. For example, you can't make the bootable media program that they support unless you pay for it.
Tenorshare Partition Manager
What We Like
Really simple interface that's easy to use
Works with lots of file systems
Queues up the changes before applying them
Supports only basic partitioning features
What We Don't Like
Unable to manipulate the system partition
Hasn't been updated in a long time
Like a number of the partition software tools we've already mentioned, Tenorshare Partition Manager has a natural feel to resizing partitions through a slider bar setting.
One thing I really like about Tenorshare Partition Manager is the interface they chose to use. The options are easily accessible from the top of the window instead of having to push through menus to find what you need like with most tools.
Several file system types can be viewed like EXT2/3/4, Reiser4/5, XFS, and JFS, but partitions can be formatted only in the NTFS or FAT32 file system.
One thing I don't like about Tenorshare Partition Manager that sets it apart from nearly all of the programs from above is that it can not resize the partition that Windows is installed to, very often the thing you want to use a partition management program for!
Merge for macOS integrates with most version control (VC), software configuration management (SCM) and other applications that allow a third-party file comparison (diff) or file merging tool to be specified. This page contains instructions for integrating Merge with the following applications:
Integration with many SCM systems requires the Professional Edition of Merge to enable the comparison of two modified versions of a file with their common ancestor.
Other applications
If your chosen application isn’t listed on this page, you may find the information for integrating Merge for Windows with other applications to be a helpful starting point. You may also be able to integrate Merge with another application yourself, using the Merge AppleScript API or command-line utility.
If you have instructions for integrating Merge with other systems, or corrections to the information presented below, please contact us to let us know so that we can update this list.

For file comparisons (but not folder comparisons), Merge is also able to populate the Versions button drop-down versions menu with other revisions of each file being compared. For more information, see Comparing Text Files (or Typed/Pasted Text).
Git can also be configured to use Merge for file comparison and merge operations.
The following configuration steps have been tested with Git v1.7.12.4.
To use Araxis Merge for file comparison and file merging:
Ensure that the command-line utilities have been installed as described in the Installing the Merge command-line utilities section of the How to Install page.
Update the Git configuration file by adding the following diff and merge tool configurations:

Enter the following in the Parameters field:
If Merge is used to make changes to a file that IntelliJ IDEA/PhpStore has stored in memory, perhaps following a merge operation, IntelliJ IDEA/PhpStorm may ask whether you wish to keep the file it has in memory or update it with the contents of the modified file on disk. It is most likely you will want to load changes from disk following a merging operation.

To configure SourceTree to use Merge for merging files:
Open the SourceTree Preferences dialog and choose the Diff tab.
Select Araxis Merge as the Merge Tool.
Subclipse
Subclipse is an Eclipse plugin providing support for Subversion within the Eclipse IDE. It can be configured to use Merge as its merging tool. Merge will then be used whenever you choose Edit Conflicts from a Team menu in Eclipse.
Merge can also integrate directly with Subversion. Please see Subversion section for more information.
The following steps have been tested with Subclipse v1.8.18, Eclipse v4.2.1 and Subversion v1.6.18
To configure Merge as the Subclipse file merging tool:
Ensure that the command-line utilities have been installed as described in the Installing the Merge command-line utilities section of the How to Install page.
Unfortunately, the
compareutility cannot be used directly to launch Merge, since Subclipse does not appropriately divide the user-specified list of external conflict program parameters. It is therefore necessary to create a shell script that will divide the list of parameters appropriately.Create a file
/usr/local/bin/subclipse-shim.shwith the following content:In the Eclipse Preferences window, select the Team▸SVN▸Diff/Merge page.
Select the External radio button.
In the adjacent entry field, enter the following:
In the Parameters field, enter the following:
Click the Apply button.
Subversion
Merge integrates well with Subversion. Araxis provides a Subversion File System Plugin to enable Merge to browse Subversion repositories directly. This means that, for example, you can compare branches of source code directly within a repository without syncing them to the client workspace. Merge is also able to populate the Versions button drop-down versions menu with other revisions of each file being compared. For more information, see Comparing Text Files (or Typed/Pasted Text).
See also the entries for Subversive, svnX and Subclipse.
To browse Subversion repositories directly from Merge:
- See the instructions on the Subversion File System Plugin page.
To configure the Subversion command-line tool (svn) to use Merge:
The following instructions have been tested with Subversion v1.6.18 and v1.7.8.
Open your ‘SVN configuration area’ configuration file in a text editor. The default location for this file is
~/.subversion.Uncomment the line that specifies the
diff-cmdand set its value to the path of the Mergearaxissvndiffexecutable that you have installed on your machine:
The Subversion command-line client versions 1.5 and later can be configured to merge non-conflicting changes automatically, but to launch Merge interactively to resolve conflicting changes.
If you wish to have Subversion merge non-conflicting changes itself, and use Merge only for conflicting changes, add a
merge-tool-cmdline to set the path of the Mergearaxissvnmergeexecutable:The
merge-tool-cmdoption is ignored when the value of thediff3-cmdoption is defined. Ensure that the value of thediff3-cmdoption has not been defined.
Alternatively, if you would rather use Merge to resolve all changes, you can define the
diff3-cmdconfiguration option instead ofmerge-tool-cmd. (Note thatdiff3-cmdis the only option for Subversion versions prior to v1.5.)If defined,
diff3-cmdshould be set to the path of the Mergearaxissvndiff3command-line utility:Save the modified configuration file and exit the text editor.
Merge will now be launched when performing Subversion commands (e.g.
svn diff,svn updateandsvn merge) that require a two or three-way comparison.
Subversive
Subversive, the official Eclipse plugin can be configured to use Merge as its merging tool. It provides support for Subversion within the Eclipse IDE. Merge will then be used for file comparisons, and for merging whenever you choose Edit Conflicts from a Team menu in Eclipse.
Merge can also integrate directly with Subversion. Please see Subversion section for more information.
The following steps have been tested with Subversive v1.0.0, Eclipse v4.2.1 and Subversion v1.6.18
To configure Merge as the Subversive file comparison and merging tool:
Unfortunately, the
compareutility cannot be used directly to launch Merge, since Subversive does not divide the user-specified lists of program arguments appropriately. It is therefore necessary to create a shell script to do this.Create a new shell script
/usr/local/bin/subversive-shim.shwith the following content:To configure Subversive to use an external tool for file comparisons, the user specifies the location of the tool and a list of arguments that are to be sent to it. When configuring this list of arguments, the tokens
${mine},${base}and${theirs}are used to represent the location of the files to be compared. When a file comparison is invoked, tokens in the list of arguments are replaced with paths to the files to be compared. Unfortunately, Subversive is inconsistent in which tokens it replaces with paths, depending on how the file comparison is invoked in Eclipse. The remote file is sometimes passed using${base}and at other times${theirs}. Fortunately, when${base}is used,${theirs}is replaced with no text, and it is therefore possible to create a script that will launch Merge using the paths from${mine}and${theirs}, unless${theirs}is empty text, in which case the paths in${mine}and${base}are compared instead.Create a file
