Currently, icdiff
does not support scp
. When I run
icdiff scp://other_machine//other_file local_file
It tells me the scp://other_machine//other_file
doestn't exist.
However, vimdiff scp://other_machine//other_file local_file
works. Can icdiff
behavior like vimdiff
?

So, vimdiff
is more or less vim
, and so can do a ton of things that it doesn't make sense for other programs to add.
But unix is great for composition, so you can do this! Just write it as:
icdiff <(scp other_machine:other_file /dev/stdout) local_file
