It seems that -Vince- said:

the "<" means these lines are from the first file and the ">" that they
come from the second.
Anyway, what you want is either "diff -u" or "diff -c" output. Both are
easier to read. Unified diffs ("-u") are smaller. You will see easily what
has changed and what was added/removed.
"-c" will give you lines preceded by "+"/"-" for added removed and "!" for
changed lines in separate area for both files.
"-u" will give you only "+"/"-" but there is only one area displayed (so
they are smaller).
