git diff localizable.strings

gistfile1.txt

(from :http://www.entropy.ch/blog/Developer/2010/04/15/Git-diff-for-Localizable-strings-Files.html)

First, add this to the project’s .git/info/attributes file:
+

*.strings diff=localizablestrings

(Unfortunately you do have to add it to every project, there doesn’t seem to be a global attributes configuration file)

Second, add this to your ~/.gitconfig file:
+

[diff "localizablestrings"]
	textconv = "iconv -f utf-16 -t utf-8"

Thanks for the gist. This works for me locally with git and Sourcetree. But this isn't helping with the diffs in GitHub pull requests. The diffs do not show on the strings files. Anyone has ideas on how to get that to work?

Works like a charm with Tower, thx.

Here's my .gitattributes located in project's root:

*.strings diff=localizablestrings
[diff "localizablestrings"]
	textconv = "iconv -f utf-16 -t utf-8"
