If your tool reacts in this unpleasant way, you might still get an acceptable workflow by turning on the 'Perform directory diff' option in Tower's preferences on the 'Git Config' tab. However, not all diff tools can handle this scenario some react badly by opening just the first of the involved files - and show the next one only after being quit. In this situation, the 'git difftool' command sends changes for every file to the diff tool in the background. Two branches or a revision with its predecessor) many changed files are involved. Comparing Many Files at Once When comparing whole revisions with each other (e.g. If your tool of choice is not supported, please have a look at our instructions on how to. If you encounter any problems, please see below for a detailed troubleshooting guide as well as notes on individual tools. Here, you can choose one of the supported tools that are installed on your machine. To configure an external application for these purposes, you need to open Tower's preferences dialog on the 'Git Config' tab. Configuring a Supported Tool Tower offers direct integrations for a lot of diff and merge tools. However, it often makes sense to use a dedicated Diff or Merge tool application for these jobs.
Hope this helps.Diff & Merge Tools Tower allows you to view diffs as well as solve merge conflicts right from within its interface. So if the above description doesn't work for you chances the problem lies somewhere else. However I tried creating an empty repo somewhere on my drive with git init, add a file, commit it, then modify it, then I tried difftool and it worked. I'm not sure what was the problem in that repo. Note: I had a repository in which even if I did issue the git difftool or git mergetool commands P4Merge wouldn't start. Then just use git difftool or git mergetool to your hearts content. So remove other stuff like difftool.path and all that.
#P4merge as mergetool git windows
If p4merge is in this list then you just need to add the path where p4merge.exe resides to your %PATH% (on Windows I recommend Rapid Environment Editor for this).Īfter this is done you just need the following config to be in your. It'll list the available tools Git can use (because they've found them in your %PATH%) and the tools it could use (if they were installed). You can tell if this is the case or not by running git difftool -tool-help. Not sure if helps, but recent versions of Git support P4Merge (I use git version 2.17.0. When type of conflict is removed file conflict, git difftool command opens p4merge. I tried Smooth Git + P4merge but it does not work for me also I tried to do as described in External Merge and Diff Tools but I did not understand that. But when I use git difftool command in git bash, I expect p4merge but I see internal implementation of diff in git bash. =C:/Program Files/Perforce/p4merge.exeĭ=C:/Program Files/Perforce/p4merge.exe Git config -global "C:/Program Files/Perforce/p4merge.exe"Īnd these lines are from git config: merge.tool=p4merge Git config -global "C:/Program Files/Perforce/p4merge.exe" I follow this article and this one to setup and config p4merge: git config -global merge.tool p4merge
I want to use p4merge as Git diff/merge tool.
