FileMerge and Git – What a Nice Combination
I was setting things up for Git and I came across the setting to have the Git 'merge' command actually pull up an external application - and in this case opendiff. I had always used FileMerge.app from my old NeXTSTEP days (it wasn't called that, back then, but it was the same tool), and loved the way it showed my differences in as concise a way as possible. It's really pretty impressive graphics work for a file diffing tool.
What I didn't know about was the fact that Apple had aliased the command-line opendiff to the FileMerge.app! Now I could easily use this diffing tool in all kinds of places. I was really jazzed. I do love working on this platform.
