In .gitconfig file I setup up the git diff as follows: [diff] tool = kdiff3 [difftool "kdiff3"] path = path_directory/kdiff3.app In this setting kdiff is not accessible and I get the following error when I run in terminal >> git difftool The diff tool kdiff3 is not available as 'Kdiff_local_software_path/kdiff3.app' fatal: external diff died, stopping at modified_file Do you have any suggestion I can fix this issue ? In my current setup Mac OS 10.10.5 git diff tool is git merge tool that I want to replace with kdiff. hjpotter92 kdiff3 is generally located at the following location:

I don't have ANT_HOME set, so i want to find where the home directory of ant is. I'm using the version of ant that was installed by default on my OSX install. Follow these instructions to find the location of any package: whereis ant (replace 'ant' with whatever you're looking for) On my machine, this reports: /usr/bin/ant so, I do: ls -l /usr/bin/ant on my machine this reports: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 22 Nov 30 17:09 /usr/bin/ant -> /usr/share/ant/bin/ant so, I do : ls -l /usr/share/ant and get: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14 Nov 30 17:09 /usr/share/ant -> java/ant-1.8.1 from this I can surmise

I'm planing to buy a Mac. I would like to be able to develop GUI applications for Mac as well. Currently I develop in C# using VisualStudio as IDE. I also know Java and I'm familiar with NetBeans IDE. Application created in both of this languages can run on Mac (as can NetBeans IDE) but I was told that neither C# nor Java is recomended for MacOS X development. So what language is recomended for MacOS X development ? I guess there is some recommendation from Apple for the developers ? I would prefer Object-oriented easy-to-use programing language (nothing like C) with good IDE that supports GUI

I'm running a Mac OS X Leopard Server and I created a new user without designating a home directory for that user. Is it possible to have that user authenticate using a Public Key? I know that when a user does have a home directory it goes in to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys I don't want to create a home directory for this user because my understanding is it would then allow them to login if given physical access. UPDATE: I need to allow this user to do a Secure FTP connection only. Setting the Login Shell to /bin/false/ will prevent them from connecting remotely as well. You have to edit /etc/ssh
