## What it is
ComparePlus is a Notepad++ plugin for comparing files, file selections, clipboard content, and diffs against Git or SVN. It supports side-by-side views, character-level diffs, move detection, and multiple simultaneous comparison pairs.

## Use cases
- compare two files side by side in notepad++
- diff a file against git
- find unique lines between two files
- compare selected text portions of two files
- diff unsaved changes against last saved version
- compare file content against clipboard text

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone diff tool outside Notepad++
- you use an editor other than Notepad++
- you run on Linux or macOS since the plugin targets Windows Notepad++
