The video, presented by Ravi, focuses on the `diff` command, a tool for comparing files line by line to identify differences. Ravi begins by demonstrating how to use `diff` with two example files, "onefile.txt" and "twofile.txt," to find character differences and interpret output symbols. He highlights additional options like `-b` and `-w` to ignore space differences. The speaker further explains using the `-i` option to ignore case differences and the unified format for streamlined comparisons. They also cover the `-y` option for side-by-side comparisons, noting how the `>` symbol marks differences. The speaker emphasizes the command's utility for combining and comparing code and mentions that the current version of `diff` utilities is 3.31. The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to subscribe and follow on social media for more updates.
