<h3>About Eskil</h3>
Eskil is a graphical tool to view the differences between files and directories. It supports version management and patch files and has various preprocessing and alignment options to improve the display of tricky diffs.
<p>
Pronunciation: The E is short, like in "set", the rest is like "skill".
