Today we are proudly introducing Kaleidoscope 5! This update represents another big milestone. While we had started to integrate Git over the last few releases, Kaleidoscope 5 is reaching a new level, enabling you to dig into the history of your coding projects like never before.
It’s been one year since Kaleidoscope 4 was released. Time to look back at our achievements and also glimpse ahead.
The topic of today sounds pretty technical, but it is one that has a great impact on your work, if you are a developer using Git. This post outlines two fundamentally different methods for examining Git changes with Kaleidoscope. An appendix illustrates how to combine your Git app of choice with either method.
Recently, we have spent a lot of time on many aspects of the folder comparison feature for Kaleidoscope 4.4 and 4.5. We have overhauled some of the underpinnings and worked hard to improve reliability and speed. But we also added some major new features. It’s time to tell you a bit what they are and how you can benefit from those changes.
For the previous two feature releases, Kaleidoscope gained the ability to talk to git for the Git File History and the Merge Context Shelf. We now took some time to refine and add smaller bits, to increase your productivity and make Kaleidoscope more fun.
In this second of our series about the Kaleidoscope File Shelf we will look at how to deal with content coming from the clipboard, from integrations such as the ksdiff tool, or from Git.
You might never have noticed that Kaleidoscope has a thing called File Shelf. In this two-part series, we’ll show how you can use it, including some advanced examples.
Part 1 explains how to conquer multi-file comparisons using the File Shelf and the Navigation menu.
Following the addition of Git File History in Kaleidoscope 4.1, in this latest update we wanted to tackle merge conflicts by adding more context provided by Git. New tools enable you to understand conflicts better and thus resolve them faster.
Merge conflicts can often be the show stopper when there’s a quick task you are try to finish up. While modern version control systems like Git and hg have much more robust merge capabilities, when…
The new Git File History feature is extremely useful to quickly inspect changes to a file over time. You may find yourself in a situation where a file in your Git repository has been changed…
