Replace visual studio 2012 Diff tool with winmerge when using Microsoft Git Provider -
i have visual studio 2012 v3 , git extensions installed.
i want change default merge tool winmerge seems not trivial task when microsoft git provider chosen.
when go vs -> tools -> options -> source control have plug-in-selection tab , cannot choose configure tools change winmerge.
is there way of using git extensions winmerge inside vs2012?
backed dzone-article, trick configure diff-tool in git.config:
- open git bash in repository
create config section winmerge diff-tool:
$ git config --local difftool.winmerge.cmd '"c:\program files (x86)\winmerge\winmergeu.exe" "$local" "$remote"'
configure git switch winmerge diff-tool:
$ git config --local diff.tool winmerge
if want have setting global setting, replace --local
switch --global
.
