WinMerge with Git

WinMerge is a fine diff tool for Windows platforms.

I downloaded a portable version and extracted into my root folder as C:\WinMerge\. Then I used it as a Git difftool by executing these lines in my Git Bash shell.

$ git config --global difftool.winmerge.cmd '/c/winmerge/winmergeu.exe -e -u -x -wl -wr -dl LOCAL -dr REMOTE "${LOCAL}" "${REMOTE}"'
$ git config --global mergetool.winmerge.cmd '/c/winmerge/winmergeu.exe -e -u -x -dl LOCAL -dr REMOTE "${LOCAL}" "${REMOTE}" "${MERGED}"'

The command line options are explained in the WinMerge Documentation. Now you can call it as your diff or merge tool.

$ git difftool -t winmerge
