When I type 'git diff', I want to view the output with my visual diff tool of choice (SourceGear diffmerge on Windows). How do I configure git to do this?
James Avery wrote a classic article a while back entitled Ten Must-Have Tools Every Developer Should Download Now which is a companion to Visual Studio Add-Ins Every Developer Should Download Now and Scott Hanselman has an excellent list on his blog but if you were on a desert island and were only allowed three .NET development tools which ones…
I used to use Windows, SVN, Tortoise SVN, and Beyond Compare. It was a great combination for doing code reviews.
Now I use OSX and Git. I've managed to kludge together a bash script along with Gitx and DiffMerge to come up with a barely acceptable solution.
I've muddled along with this setup, and similar ones, for over a year. I've also…

I set my editor per an SO entry: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/780425/how-do-i-setup-diffmerge-with-msysgit-gitk.
I'm wondering how to undo this because I want to switch back to the default editing program.
From time to time I ear some people saying their new web application supports data export to Excel format. So far so good … but they don’t tell the all story … in fact almost all the times what is happening is they are exporting data to a Comma-Separated file or simply exporting GridView rendered HTML to an xls file. Ok … it works but…
I've been looking like crazy for an explanation of a diff algorithm that works and is efficient.
The closest I got is this link to RFC 3284 (from several Eric Sink blog posts), which describes in perfectly understandable terms the data format in which the diff results are stored. However, it has no mention whatsoever as to how a…
I'm trying to write a unit test for a piece of code that generates a large amount of text. I've run into an issue where the "expected" and "actual" strings appear to be equal, but Assert.AreEqual throws, and both the equality operator and Equals() return false. The result of GetHashCode() is different for both values as well.

A couple of months ago, I posted on Google+ about my evaluation period for a new software development stack in general.

Surprisingly, there was…
For all my present Diff / Merge needs I'm using Beyond Compare; when I decided to buy a license for it I tried other similar tools, both payware and freeware.
Now BC is at version 3, and I think it's a great tool... but what are your experience in this field? Do you think there is something better? And what are the feature…
I got pretty excited a couple of days ago when my new laptop arrived. “The new phone books are here! The new phone books are here!
