This little nemo action allows to compare selected (text-) files using the diff-and-merge-tool meld.

Using latest nemo, put this either into your local folder

~/.local/share/nemo/actions/

or to use it system-wide:

/usr/share/nemo/actions/

Of course, meld is required. It is usually available in your distribution's repository.

The above didn't work in Ubuntu/Mint. This does and I added the comments above too:

Oh, thank you! I forgot about this and also did not see the comment from 2017, yet...

I updated the gist with your version.
