You can check this by running bcompare from shell(cmd, git bash or powershell. In order for Git to find beyond compare as valid difftool, you should have Beyond Compare installation directory in your system path environment variable. It means that your git does not support(can not find) beyond compare as difftool right now. Git difftool -tool=' may be set to one of the following:
#Beyond compare download windows windows 7
If you are running windows 7 (professional) and Git for Windows (v 2.15 or above), you can simply run below command to find out what are different diff tools supported by your Git for Windows git difftool -tool-help If this is not set to true then the merge target file timestamp is checked and the merge assumed to have been successful if the file has been updated, otherwise the user is prompted to indicate the success of the merge.
#Beyond compare download windows code
Then, I use $ git difftool to compare and $ git mergetool to merge.įor a custom merge command, specify whether the exit code of the merge command can be used to determine whether the merge was successful. #use cygpath to transform cygwin path $LOCAL (something like /tmp/U5VvP1_abc) to windows path, because bc3 is a windows softwareĬmd = \"c:/program files/beyond compare 3/bcomp.exe\" "$(cygpath -w $LOCAL)" "$REMOTE"Ĭmd = \"c:/program files/beyond compare 3/bcomp.exe\" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$BASE" "$MERGED" My environment is Windows XP, git 1.7.1 on cygwin, and Beyond Compare 3. My git config looks like this for Diff: Įxternal = c:/cygwin/bin/git-diff-wrapper.sh "c:/Program Files/Beyond Compare 3/BCompare.exe" "$2" "$5" | cat
My git-diff-wrapper.sh looks like this: #!/bin/sh I would like the see my current main.css in the left pane compared to the HEAD, basically what I have last committed. I am kinda new to Git so perhaps I am not using the diff correctly.įor example, I am trying to see the diff on a file with a command like such:īeyond Compare will then open and only display my current main.css in the left pane, there is nothing in the right pane. I have followed the suggestions by VonC but I am still having exactly the same problem as before. Has anyone else encountered this problem and know a solution to this?
# path old-file old-hex old-mode new-file new-hex new-mode # diff is called by git with 7 parameters: I have set up beyond compare as they suggest in the support part of their website with a script like such: #!/bin/sh I am running git 1.6.3.1 with Cygwin with Beyond Compare 3. Only the latest version of the file is loaded and nothing else, so there is nothing in the right pane of Beyond Compare. I have succeeded in getting git to start Beyond Compare 3 as a diff tool however, when I do a diff, the file I am comparing against is not being loaded.
