apex code comparison

Hi, As we all develop apex code in different sandboxes and finally need to move to QA sandbox/any other sandbox. What are the best tools available for code comparison (my current sandbox version against prod/any other sandbox version) before moving code from one sandbox to another to  understand the changes we did? What are the best practices for code comparison? Any ideas on this will be highly appreciated.

    VS Code + Git diff is probably the most common approach for Apex code comparison.

    For larger orgs or multiple sandboxes, teams also use org-to-org metadata comparison tools to compare:

    • Apex Classes
    • Triggers
    • Visualforce Pages
    • layouts and other metadata before deployment.

    We used to compare retrieved metadata manually, but recently started using BOFC for quicker sandbox vs production Apex comparisons:

    Best practice is definitely keeping Git as the source of truth and validating differences before every deployment.
