那么如何在 mac os 上使用 brew 安装 kdiff3？

Answer 1

kdiff3于 2019 年 8 月从 Homebrew 的软件包中删除，因为它的最后一个兼容版本已有五年历史。 如果你真的想安装它，你可以在 GitHub repo 中检出公式（包）文件，从它删除之前开始。 您可以将文件复制到本地，也可以直接使用 URL：

brew cask install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/6a96e5ea44803e52a43c0c89242390f75d1581ab/Casks/kdiff3.rb
