Filemerge

4:40p.m., Thu 5 Jun 2008

For a while I was using TextMate's "Diff" bundle to resolve subversion conflicts. And it was a pain in the arse quite frankly. The output hurt my brain and I had to re-learn how to read it every time.

Which is why I was skipping round the office and whooping when I was introduced to the relative simplicity of the "FileMerge" application. Way more visual than any other comparison tool I've used - the liquid way it keeps the line-numbers in syc across two docs is really neat. Who'd have thunk merging files could be a pleasure?

It comes bundled with the Xcode Developer Tools.
