interactive/visual merge tool for console?

I’m a big fan of meld – a visual diff and merge tool for Gnome. It shows two files (or directories) side-by-side and with their differences highlighted, and I can easily select which parts I want to move from one file to the other.

I’m looking for a similar tool, but it should work on the (Linux) console, eg. it should not require any X server. Maybe using an ncurses interface.

Is there such tool?

Answer

Ah just found out about vimdiff. It pretty much does what I was looking for. here’s a quick guide
