Hello przemmaj,

Yes. This is normal.

I always wrap opendiff in a script so that you can easily edit and save. You can also use this to dump stderr.

Here is my xcodediff script:

#!/bin/sh

# Get a hold of the last parameter.

eval LAST=\${$#}

# Now run opendiff with the previous version and the current version.

opendiff ${*} -merge "$LAST" 2> /dev/null

And for good measure, here is gitdiff:

#!/bin/bash

# Delete any old files.

rm -Rf /tmp/gitdiff_*

mkdir -p /tmp/gitdiff_$$

# Do the diff.

git diff ${*} > /tmp/gitdiff_$$/patch

# Get a hold of the last parameter.

eval LAST=\${$#}

# Copy the file to /tmp, append the process ID, and .gitdiff to the file name.

mkdir -p /tmp/gitdiff_$$/$LAST

rm -Rf /tmp/gitdiff_$$/$LAST

cp "$LAST" "/tmp/gitdiff_$$/$LAST"

# Now patch the temp file to the previous version.

patch -s -R "/tmp/gitdiff_$$/$LAST" < /tmp/gitdiff_$$/patch

# Now run opendiff with the previous version and the current version.

opendiff "/tmp/gitdiff_$$/$LAST" "$LAST" -merge "$LAST" 2> /dev/null
