How do I view git diff with textmate

Question

I have my editor setup to be textmate but when I do a git diff it uses vi to show me the diff output, is there any way to set it to show the diff in textmate?

Answer 1

I normally pipe the contents to mate like this:

git diff | mate -

Answer 2

The GIT_PAGER environment variable is used to specify which program to use to show multi-page output. You should be able to set this to point to textmate.
