See :help diff.txt

:diffoff!

then in the split-windows which you don't want to stay open:

:q

Particular case: To stop diff mode by quitting Vim, just

:qa

(or :xa if there are 'modified' files which you want to save before
quitting) is usually enough.

Other ways to _start_ diff mode:

[g]vimdiff file1 file2

(in the shell) or _one_ of the ex-commands

:DiffOrig
:diffsplit filename.ext
:diffthis

in Vim. They all have help; :DiffOrig is defined in vimrc_example.vim,
or you can copy its code from the help topic; :diffthis has to be
repeated in each of the split-windows which you want to make part of the
diff.

Best regards,
Tony.
