Meld For Mac



Ctrl+c will put Meld in an ugly state where user would have to start Meld from the Launchpad or using Finder before they can start from command line again (or rm -fr /Library/Saved Application State/org.gnome.meld.savedState; Full screen from the pop-up menu doesn't work (but you can still full screen from the titlebar). Download this app from Microsoft Store for Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, Windows 10 Team (Surface Hub). See screenshots, read the latest customer reviews, and compare ratings for MELD. There are alternative solutions to installing meld on OS X: Use a different package manager, like Fink, which is mentioned in meld's installation manual, or MacPorts, mentioned in the issue in Homebrew's issue tracker. You can probably also compile from source, but need to get the dependencies yourself. Meld allows you to compare two or three different files within one user interface. It can be used to compare pages of code to see where the patched code differs from the original code. You can even use it to compare two text documents to see where the same text has been duplicated in both documents.

Meld for OSX

This is a fork of Meld packaged and bundled for OSX. The original website for Meld is here http://meldmerge.org. Minor work has been done to also integrate OSX menu and shortcuts, but the app is truly the original, excellent Meld.

Tip:Meld OSX also understands/checks for the following environment variables.

The theme change can be done by changing the variable in the wrapper script

find the part that says

and change it to

Why Meld for Mac/OSX and not Macports/Homebrew

Top reasons behind using this fork over Macports or Homebrew builds:

  • Retina support (check the screenshot!)
  • Latest 3.x series
  • No hassle install (drag/drop like any other app)
  • Integrates with OSX menu
  • Supports standard OSX shortcuts (cmd-c/cmd-v instead of ctrl) (Merged to upstream)
  • Note: Homebrew now installs Meld for OSX

Special Thanks

Meld App

  • To Kai Willadsen http://meldmerge.org/ for creating Meld.
  • To the Gnome project https://www.gnome.org/
  • To Alex Kras whose web page (How To Run Meld on Mac OS X Yosemite Without Homebrew, MacPorts, or Think) served as my reference for tracking Meld for OSX usage and issues when I had absolutely no time to maintain this.

TODO

  • Get rid of the Meld wrapper shell script (this should get rid of all the wrappers needed to run Meld from the terminal)
  • Support Meld localizations (currently only English works)

Not Accepting Donations

I'm not currently accepting donations for the development of this fork. I just missed a proper implementation of Meld on Mac so I thought of creating this fork. If you want to donate, please donate to the original Meld project.

What is Meld?

Meld is a visual diff and merge tool targeted at developers. Meld helps you compare files, directories, and version controlled projects. It provides two- and three-way comparison of both files and directories, and has support for many popular version control systems.

Meld helps you review code changes and understand patches. It might even help you to figure out what is going on in that merge you keep avoiding.
