Previously, this page contained the sentence "It is quite powerful so on OS X (where KDiff3 requires running X11) is likely the best available tool (TODO: compare with DiffMerge)." But KDiff3 does not need X11 and has not for years (given that the QT library has a native Aqua version). P4.executable = /Applications/p4merge.app/Contents/MacOS/p4mergeĪdjust priority based on your other merge tools (or just leave it if you have no other merge tools) and path if you're not on OS X.
#REVIEW P4MERGE VS KDIFF3 INSTALL#
Install it in Applications and then add to your ~/.hgrc:
In OS X case you get p4merge and p4v applications, where you need only the first. But if you're willing to shell out 50, then Beyond Compare is the way to go. The difference here is that KDiff3 is free and Beyond Compare is not. To get it you should download "The Perforce Visual Client". I've used other tools like KDiff3, and had a much better experience with Beyond Compare 3. You can also reload the window with ctrl+shift+f5, which only takes a second.P4Merge is a 3-way merge tool which comes with the Perforce VCS. I just always close it when I'm finished, and then reopen when I want to view my changes/commit again.
#REVIEW P4MERGE VS KDIFF3 UPDATE#
The only problem I've had is refreshing - when working with large repositories atom can be slow to update changes you make outside of it. Navigate between projects without filling up your tree view.
I would also recommend project-manager as a very convenient way to.Open to, or add your project folder (git repo). For diffs - just built in in VS, cause it. And most important, alt+scroll scrolls horizontally. You can start it from the command line and pass in a single file you want to Small, has all needed configs to mitigate whitespaces/newlines, can change encoding on fly, 3-way, easy to pick any combination of changes, and smart enough to eliminate most git merge 'conflicts' that are not actual conflicts. Clean UI and very straight-forward, plus it's highly customizable. I don't even use it as an editor or IDE anymore, just for working with git.
#REVIEW P4MERGE VS KDIFF3 CODE#
You can edit the code directly or there are buttons to use whichever version of that snippet you want. One limitation of XXdiff is its lack of support for unicode files and inline editing of diff files. Personally, I've found Atom to be a great tool for visualizing differences and conflict resolution/merging.Īs for merging, there aren't three views but it's all combined into one with colored highlighting for each version. XXdiff is a free, powerful file and directory comparator and merge tool that runs on Unix like operating systems such as Linux, Solaris, HP/UX, IRIX, DEC Tru64. I've tried a lot of the tools mentioned here and none of them have quite been what I'm looking for. Two base, two changes, and one resulting merge. PS: If one tool one day supports 5 views merging, this would really be awesome, because if you cherry-pick commits in Git you really have not one base but two. This makes merging somewhat harder in complex cases. The merge view (see screenshot) has only 3 panes, just like SourceGear Diff/Merge. So you can have some history diff on all files much simpler. Meld is a newer free tool that I'd prefer to SourceGear Diff/Merge: Now it's also working on most platforms (Windows/Linux/Mac) with the distinct advantage of natively supporting some source control like Git. Check that merge screens-shot and you'll see it's has the 3 views at least. SourceGear Diff/Merge may be my second free tool choice. Perforce tries to make it a bit hard to get their tool without their client. You cannot edit manually the files and you cannot manually align. If all files have the same name but are in different directories, you can reduce typework by specifying the filename only for the first file. My main disappointement with that tool is its kind of "read-only" interface. The Perforce Visual Client ( P4V) is a free tool that provides one of the most explicit interface for merging (see some screenshots).
#REVIEW P4MERGE VS KDIFF3 MANUAL#
It has many features like advanced rules, editions, manual alignment. It integrates with many source control and works on Windows/Linux. It's somewhat less visual than P4V but way more than WinDiff. The good thing with its merge is that it let you see all 4 views: base, left, right, and merged result.
#REVIEW P4MERGE VS KDIFF3 PRO#
Beyond Compare 3, my favorite, has a merge functionality in the Pro edition.
