Diffing tip for MacVim users

• Chris Liscio

Stick this in your ~/.bash_profile:

alias mvdiff="mvim -R - &>/dev/null"

Now, whenever you want to view diffs of changes in your favorite SCM, it's as simple as doing something like this:

hg diff | mvdiff

I can't seem to wrap my head around the fancy diff tools that are out there, and unified diffs + syntax highlighting seem to work best for my eyes.

Hope this helps!
