In Xcode, choose this menu item: Xcode -> Open Developer Tool -> FileMerge. The app itself is here:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/FileMerge.app

On the command line, use opendiff. You must have the command line tools installed -- go to Xcode, Preferences, Downloads tab, and install Command Line Tools if you haven't already.

  • Doesn't work for me: I get `Error: Can't run /Developer/usr/bin/opendiff (no such file).` Xcode 4.3 removed this folder altogether, and now `/usr/bin/opendiff` exists but gives me this error – Jean-Philippe Pellet Mar 05 '12 at 08:44
  • You can also launch it from directly within xcode, on the top bar. Click "Xcode" >> "open developer tools" – Mick MacCallum Mar 05 '12 at 09:35

    If the command-line doesn't work, and you have no /Developer directory anymore, you probably need to: `sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer` – Kurt Revis Mar 09 '12 at 07:03

Run this in your terminal: 

sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

    This didn't work for me, but `sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app` did. – S M Mar 20 '12 at 18:56
  • Weird, it worked for me. I'll leave it unedited for now, and people will just try both methods and use the one that works for them. – winsmith Mar 22 '12 at 09:17
