The “>” denotes a line from the second text file
<First Start Line>, <First End Line>'['<Diff Type>']'<Second Start Line>,<Second End Line>
Then the difference in the first content is displayed, followed by the separator '---', followed by the difference in the second content.
The + character indicates addition,
the - character indicates a deletion, and
the ! character indicates a change.
When these characters are present, they indicate that an actual change occurred on the line of content (instead of to a context line).
