PhpStorm.app (Standalone) Mac integration with Tower.app for diff and merge - https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-26090

PhpStorm.app (Standalone) Mac integration with Tower.app for diff and merge

How to use this

  1. Add CompareTools.plist and phpstorm.sh files in the ~/Library/Application Support/com.fournova.Tower3/CompareTools/ directory. You may need to mkdir ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.fournova.Tower3/CompareTools if the folder does not already exist
  2. Run chmod +x ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.fournova.Tower3/CompareTools/phpstorm.sh
  3. Go into Tower.app Preference > Git Config > Select "PhpStorm" for "Diff tool" and "Compare tool", you can optionally enable "Perform directory diff"

Other variations

While I went and figured out how to do all of this, this integration is based on the one I found for Beyond Compare's beta integration: https://github.com/tednaleid/git-tower-beyond-compare-shim
