You can pipe DIFF to TextMate

DIFF is a compare tool that you can use from the Terminal to compare files. What I did not know though is that you can PIPE the results to Textmate

1diff /path/to/project/index.cfm /path/to/project/index.cfm | mate

This comes in really handy when you are using Git on the command-line as well. When you do git diffs you can pipe it the same way and the result is really nice and readable since Textmate has color coding support for diffs.

git diff <branch1> <branch2> | mate

Word. TextMate's Terminal integration is awesome.
