macosbashdiffmerge

mac osx, git mergetool, diffmerge, command not found

I installed DiffMerge in Applications folder. I can't get DiffMerge run on its own, nor when I use git mergetool My PATH variable: 

/Applications/DiffMerge.app:/Applications/:/Applications/:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin$$$:/usr/X11/bin

What am I missing? thanks

Solution

  • Mac App bundles have the executables in the folder:

    Contents/MacOS/

    (reference).

    So your path should be:

    /Applications/DiffMerge.app/Contents/MacOS:/usr/bin:...etc

    Having /Applications/ in the path is completely pointless.
