Try:
diff --brief --recursive dir1/ dir2/
Or alternatively, with the short flags -qr:
diff -qr dir1/ dir2/
If you also want to see differences for files that may not exist in either directory:
diff --brief --recursive --new-file dir1/ dir2/ # with long options diff -qrN dir1/ dir2/ # with short flag aliases
