How do I pipe in FileMerge as a diff tool with git on OS X?
command-line, filemerge, git, macos
Solution
Although it's not exactly the same as piping stdin into a script, you can do this:
git difftool -t opendiff -y
That will launch FileMerge once for each file. Doing the whole project tree at once takes a little scripting.

Problem
I'm new to git on OS X, and I'm using it via the command line. I come from the world of Tortoise SVN and Beyond Compare on Windows. I want to be able to send diffs to FileMerge. I was able to do this with TextMate simply by using: ``` git diff | mate ``` But I'm not sure how to get that set up so I can use FileMerge instead?
