Kaleidoscope 5.2: Streamlined Merge Conflict Resolution
Enhanced Merge Tools
Kaleidoscope 5.2 introduces significant improvements to its merge conflict resolution tools. The update focuses on providing a more comprehensive understanding of code changes and streamlining the process of resolving Git merge conflicts. A key feature is the ability to view and compare the Base file in merges, offering comparisons between the Base and side A or B, and allowing for inspection of entire file comparisons and commit history.

Improved Navigation and Shortcuts
Navigation for conflicts and changes has been refined. Primary navigation jumps to the next or previous conflict, while secondary navigation (next/previous change) is accessed with the option key. New keyboard shortcuts include Command + Down Arrow for Next Conflict and Option + Command + Down Arrow for Next Change. See iOS 18.1.1: Essential Security Update for iPhones for other software updates.
Exploring Git History
Improvements to exploring Git history include inspecting intermediary changes between the Base and conflicting versions. The Git File History view allows easy navigation through commit history, and users can choose which changeset to open for commits with multiple parents.
