UltraCompare for Mac's powerful Find Duplicates functionality makes it easy to simply comb through your file system for pesky repeats. Let us do the heavy lifting for you. When selecting “compare with base” of a modified file it does open BeyondCompare 4 (my preferred diff tool) but supplies to temporary files. In this way I can not revert certain lines of code from the repository back into my local working copy. TkDiff is also a cross-platform, easy-to-use GUI wrapper for the Unix diff tool. It provides a side-by-side view of the differences between two input files. It can run on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. DiffMerge is an application to visually compare and merge files. Graphically shows the changes between two files. Includes intra-line highlighting and full support for editing. Graphically shows the changes between 3 files. Allows automatic merging (when safe to do so) and full control over editing the resulting file.
The difference is an exact number of quarters of an hour up to 95 (same minutes modulo 15 and seconds) if the file was transported across zones; there is also a one-hour difference within a single zone caused by the transition between standard time and daylight saving time (DST).
Meld for OSX
This is a fork of Meld packaged and bundled for OSX. The original website for Meld is here http://meldmerge.org. Minor work has been done to also integrate OSX menu and shortcuts, but the app is truly the original, excellent Meld.

Tip: A lot of people are asking how to use this package as a git difftool/mergetool.Once installed, edit your ~/.gitconfig and add the following lines
Tip:Meld OSX also understands/checks for the following environment variables.
The theme change can be done by changing the variable in the wrapper script
find the part that says
and change it to
and you'll have a fully dark meld..
Why Meld for Mac/OSX and not Macports/Homebrew
Top reasons behind using this fork over Macports or Homebrew builds:
- Retina support (check the screenshot!)
- Latest 3.x series
- No hassle install (drag/drop like any other app)
- Integrates with OSX menu
Supports standard OSX shortcuts (cmd-c/cmd-v instead of ctrl)(Merged to upstream)- Note: Homebrew now installs Meld for OSX

Special Thanks
- To Kai Willadsen http://meldmerge.org/ for creating Meld.
- To the Gnome project https://www.gnome.org/
- To Alex Kras whose web page (How To Run Meld on Mac OS X Yosemite Without Homebrew, MacPorts, or Think) served as my reference for tracking Meld for OSX usage and issues when I had absolutely no time to maintain this.
TODO
- Get rid of the Meld wrapper shell script (this should get rid of all the wrappers needed to run Meld from the terminal)
- Support Meld localizations (currently only English works)

If you have a suggestion or you are facing an issue running this Meld fork, please open an issue here https://github.com/yousseb/meld/issues. Please note that your issue has to be specific to the OSX fork and not to Meld itself. I have no plans/time to work on Meld itself.

Not Accepting Donations
I'm not currently accepting donations for the development of this fork. I just missed a proper implementation of Meld on Mac so I thought of creating this fork. If you want to donate, please donate to the original Meld project.

What is Meld?
Meld is a visual diff and merge tool targeted at developers. Meld helps you compare files, directories, and version controlled projects. It provides two- and three-way comparison of both files and directories, and has support for many popular version control systems.
Meld helps you review code changes and understand patches. It might even help you to figure out what is going on in that merge you keep avoiding.
Features
- Two- and three-way comparison of files and directories
- File comparisons update as you type
- Auto-merge mode and actions on change blocks help make merges easier
- Visualisations make it easier to compare your files
- Supports Git, Bazaar, Mercurial, Subversion, etc.
- …and more
Meld is licensed under the GPL v2, except as noted
