mac osx, git mergetool, diffmerge, command not found

Question

I installed DiffMerge in Applications folder. I can't get DiffMerge run on its own, nor when I use git mergetool My PATH variable:

/Applications/DiffMerge.app:/Applications/:/Applications/:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin$$$:/usr/X11/bin

What am I missing? thanks

Mac App bundles have the executables in the folder:

Contents/MacOS/

(reference).

So your path should be:

/Applications/DiffMerge.app/Contents/MacOS:/usr/bin:...etc

Having /Applications/ in the path is completely pointless.
