If you want to use Xcode's FileMerge as your git mergetool, this is how you set it up.
# Tell system when Xcode utilities live:
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
# Set "opendiff" as the default mergetool globally:
git config --global merge.tool opendiff

/**
Provides the ability to verify key paths at compile time.
If "keyPath" does not exist, a compile-time error will be generated.
Example:
// Verifies "isFinished" exists on "operation".
NSString *key = SQKeyPath(operation, isFinished);
// Verifies "isFinished" exists on self.
