diff3: Show all changes, outlining conflicts.
$ diff3 --show-all ${filename1} ${filename2} ${filename3}
try on your machine

The diff3 command is used to compare three files line by line and display the differences between them.

The --show-all option is used to show all changes, including the common parts between the files and the conflicting changes.

${filename1}, ${filename2}, and ${filename3} are placeholders for the names of three files that you want to compare. You need to replace them with the actual file names or file paths.

So, when you run the command diff3 --show-all ${filename1} ${filename2} ${filename3}, it will compare the contents of the three files and display the differences, including the common parts and any conflicts that exist.
