is there way of using git extensions winmerge inside vs2012?

backed dzone-article, trick configure diff-tool in git.config:

  1. open git bash in repository
  2. create config section winmerge diff-tool:

    $ git config --local difftool.winmerge.cmd '"c:\program files (x86)\winmerge\winmergeu.exe" "$local" "$remote"' 
  3. configure git switch winmerge diff-tool:

    $ git config --local diff.tool winmerge 

if want have setting global setting, replace --local switch --global.
