Message-ID: <4A70AE1F.7070004@idmcomp.com> (raw)
Hello,
First off I am using Git for windows. I am trying to configure git to
use an external diff tool. I am nearly there. I have it launching the
correct program when "git difftool testfile.txt" is invoked. However, it
appears the file paths are not being passed. I suspect I may not be
using the $LOCAL and $REMOTE variables correctly. Below is how I have
configured things thus far. Any help or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
git config --global diff.tool TestTool
git config --global difftool.TestTool.cmd ""c:/TestTool/test.exe"
"$LOCAL" "$REMOTE""
git config --global difftool.prompt false
Thanks,
Eric
