Mac users: FileMerge.app

If you don't know about it already…

As I get close to finishing my upgrade to 1.3.9a; I thought I'd recommend using FileMerge that is part of Apple's Developer's Tools (you can also install from your OS X DVD), which usually live here,:

/Developer/Applications/Utilities/FileMerge.app

Drag the folders you want to compare to the top boxes and the folder that will hold the merged files to the bottom right. You could use the ancestor box; but, it's not required.



After FileMerge initializes, it will display this screen.



Go through the files and directories, be sure to remember which is right and left, and you're one step closer!

BBedit (not free) also offers comparison capabilities.

Lot's of love for BBEdit! I only mentioned FileMerge 'cause it's free.

from the creators of BBEdit is an app called TextWrangler and it too is free...works heavenly

I still feel like a traitor; but, I fell for TextMate when Rails blew up. I gave up on Rails but kept TextMate. There are a couple of features I miss in BBEdit; but, I work faster in TextMate. Maybe I'll find my way back.
