Note Bene:
My git config --global does not like ' " sequences. SO it is better to directly edit the .gitconfig in $HOME
with the values:
[alias]
s = status
c = checkout
b = branch
a = add
lol = log --oneline --graph --decorate
[merge]
tool = meld
[diff]
tool = meld
[mergetool "meld"]
trustExitCode = false
cmd = meld "$BASE" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED"
[difftool "meld"]
cmd = meld "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE"

meld on oSX
Use this script to run: meld.sh
Link it to /usr/local/bin/meld
