I've set:
git config --global merge.tool meld
git config --global mergetool.meld.path c:/Progra~2/meld/bin/
On "git mergetool" it writes:
Hit return to start merge resolution tool (meld):
The merge tool meld is not available as 'c:/Progra~2/meld/bin/'
I have tried also:
- /c/Progra~2/meld/bin/
- "/c/Program files (x86)/meld/bin/"
- "c:/Program files (x86)/meld/bin/"
result is the same.
when I go to C:/Program files (x86)/meld/bin/ and run
python meld
the tool runs.
You could use complete unix paths like:
PATH=$PATH:/c/python26
git config --global merge.tool meld
git config --global mergetool.meld.path /c/Program files (x86)/meld/bin/meld
This is what is described in "How to get meld working with git on Windows"
Or you can adopt the wrapper approach described in "Use Meld with Git on Windows"
# set up Meld as the default gui diff tool
$ git config --global diff.guitool meld
# set the path to Meld
$ git config --global mergetool.meld.path C:/meld-1.6.0/Bin/meld.sh
With a script meld.sh
:
#!/bin/env bash
C:/Python27/pythonw.exe C:/meld-1.6.0/bin/meld $@
abergmeier mentions in the comments:
I had to do:
git config --global merge.tool meld
git config --global mergetool.meld.path /c/Program files (x86)/Meld/meld/meldc.exe
Note that meldc.exe was especially created to be invoked on Windows via console. Thus meld.exe will not work properly.
CenterOrbit mentions in the comments for Mac OS to install homebrew, and then:
brew install homebrew/gui/meld
git config --global merge.tool meld
git config --global diff.guitool meld
This worked for me on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
git config --global mergetool.meld.path "/c/Program Files (x86)/meld/meld.exe"
meld 3.14.0
[merge]
tool = meld
[mergetool "meld"]
path = C:/Program Files (x86)/Meld/Meld.exe
cmd = \"C:/Program Files (x86)/Meld/Meld.exe\" --diff \"$BASE\" \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\" --output \"$MERGED\"
I think that mergetool.meld.path
should point directly to the meld executable. Thus, the command you want is:
git config --global mergetool.meld.path c:/Progra~2/meld/bin/meld
None of the other answers here worked for me, possibly from trying a combination of all of them. I was able to adapt this accepted answer to work with meld. This is now working for me with git 1.9.4, meld 3.14.0, and windows 8.1.
Edit ~/.gitconfig to look like:
[diff]
tool = meld
guitool = meld
[mergetool "meld"]
path = c:/Program Files (x86)/Meld/Meld.exe
[difftool "meld"]
path = c:/Program Files (x86)/Meld/Meld.exe
For windows add the path for meld is like below:
git config --global mergetool.meld.path C:\\Meld_run\\Meld.exe
