[New feature request] Diff files

[ludoo0d0a]

Is there any chance to see a diff files feature in Cloud9 ?
A project already integrates diff with ace (https://github.com/benkeen/ace-diff).

I usually go to terminal to execute git status and then click on each file to check their diff with current state using git diff. Unless it is small project I use ungit, which works like charm in c9. Also there is a File History function (click on file tab) which is great, but yeah 👍 for this idea - sublime has diff built-in for checking unsaved progress.

I should mention that the c9/core introduces new tab called "Changes". Currently it is really amazing - it provides git support (sidebar with staging files and log view) and an ace-diff. Good job c9 team!

// You can enable it in Settings on c9.io if you would like to try it out.

any news on it ?
This feature is waiting by community.

@ludoo0d0a You can enable this tab as experimental feature:

This will bring you a simple diff tool directly in c9 ace editor.

Thanks for feedback.
I understand that the "git diff" panel is available. It is super great, indeed !

but the requested feature is more about a "compare 2 selected and different files".
Since all components are there, I'm pretty sure there is not a big gap to add a such feature.
The result from the output of the following command can even be used :
> diff file.a file.b -y

@piotrkubisa: It seems this has been removed from Cloud9...

Wasn't it green-lit into mature components? I don't use Cloud9 anymore, so I cannot verify that information.

Maybe, but I do not see it in the options or how to check for the diff... And google did not help me there either.

I still use Cloud9 (on a AWS as provided pre-installed by Amazon). I looked around but I can't find this anywhere either...
