I see FileMerge in the Xcode app bundle:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/FileMerge.app I know I can open it on the command line using:
open /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/FileMerge.app But there seems like there should be an easier way. How can I tell Spotlight about FileMerge so I can open it with the keyboard? Is there another way to launch it without having to use the command-line?

On MacOS Catalina, you just need to open spotlight (cmd+space) and type "FileMerge".
In Finder, select the Go pull-down menu, and select Applications. Or just use the short-cut key Command-Shift-A while Finder is active. This should open a new Finder window, showing all the Applications installed on your machine. Look for the XCode icon in the Applications folder.
Xcode is a complete developer toolset for creating apps for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. Xcode brings user interface design, coding, testing, debugging, and submitting to the App Store into a unified workflow.
To install Xcode Command Line Tools, navigate to your device's Terminal app again through Spotlight Search. Then, type “xcode-select –install” into your terminal and hit Enter. Instead of clicking “Get Xcode” like before, find and click Install at the bottom-right-hand corner of the new window.
Symbolic links also work.
% cd /Applications
% ln -s Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/FileMerge.app/ .
