How to set up a beyond compare as git mergetool?
git config --global diff.tool bc3
git config --global difftool.bc3.path "c:/program files/beyond compare 4/bcomp.exe"
git config --global merge.tool bc3
git config --global mergetool.bc3.path "c:/program files/beyond compare 4/bcomp.exe"
If the above instructions aren't working on your system, it's possible repository local settings are overriding the global settings.
The contents of the global git config file (c:\users\username\.gitconfig) from my working test system:
[diff]
tool = bc3
[difftool "bc3"]
path = c:/program files/beyond compare 4/bcomp.exe
[merge]
tool = bc3
[mergetool "bc3"]
path = c:/program files/beyond compare 4/bcomp.exe
