Visual patch tool for Mac
diff, macos, patch, user-interface
Solution
You can use colordiff and pipe in the patch file. Not a GUI, but definitely way better than just trying to read the patch file.
`brew install colordiff cat file.patch | colordiff | less -RS`
Worked well for my needs. More info here: http://www.markusbe.com/2009/12/how-to-read-a-patch-or-diff-and-understand-its-structure-to-apply-it-manually/
Problem
On Windows, there is TortoiseMerge tool that's able to open patch files (the files produced by git patch / diff -u, etc...), and then act as a visual diff utility to select/edit the patch chunks. On linux, I've heard kompare does this. On Mac, I haven't find any tool for this, so do you know any ? PS: I'm not looking for diff tool which require giving you 2 or 3 files as input (since the patch I'm editing might not be valid, I can't apply the patch on a temporary subset of the file and diff manually).
