Comparing buffers with vimdiff

Update: 2014-01-15

Description

Vim’s diff mode allows us to easily compare the contents of two (or more) buffers. We can start Vim in diff mode using the vimdiff command, or if Vim is already running we can switch to diff mode using the :diffthis command. The beauty of the :diffthis command is that it works with unnamed buffers, whereas vimdiff can only work with files.
