C:\Users\Me\.gitconfig) is modified to add a new Merge tool called "sourcetree" and the Git command includes -tool=sourcetree. When using Sourcetree's custom option, your git config file (e.g. Sourcetree starts Git to open your tool of choice. I had the problem that when trying to merge, WinMerge wouldn't open. This configuration is for using the middle pane as the merged output file. It doesn't seem to be necessary to enclose the remote/local/base parameters in quotes to cater for paths with spaces in them any more. Within the SourceTree Options dialog I chose "Custom" as the Merge Tool, entered the command as: C:\Program Files\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exeĪnd the Arguments as: -u -fm -wl -wr -dl Remote_RO -dm Local_Merged -dr Base_RO $REMOTE $LOCAL $BASE -o $MERGED That answer is still valid, but WinMerge now also supports a three-way merge which needs additional parameters. I originally upvoted answer for using WinMerge from SourceTree.
#Install winmerge how to#
If you know how to use VIM, you can edit the whole thing with this command: git config -global -edit gitconfig file in the root of your user directory. You can also directly edit the config file by locating the. That will stop Git creating the *.orig files.
#Install winmerge windows#
Unfortunately, SourceTree does not have a GUI option for this, so fire up your git bash or, if you chose the right PATH option during installation, the Windows Command prompt and do this: git config -global mergetool.keepBackup false
Git itself will create a *.orig conflict file AFTER the conflict is resolved, just in case you botched it. You can either turn this off, or add *.bak to your. The contents of this file will either be the original left side file, or the second to last output file if you saved multiple times. If you leave the backup file option turned on, WinMerge will generate a. The right side (labeled "Theirs") will be read only (that's the -wr argument), this is needed because WinMerge outputs all saved files to the $MERGED file, so if both sides were edited, it would output the left side then overwrite that with the right side best to avoid that kind of confusion.
That will cause the left side (labeled "Mine") to be editable and it will be the output file when you save in WinMerge. In Arguments use: -e -u -dl "Mine" -wr -dr "Theirs" $LOCAL $REMOTE $MERGED
If you decide to use SourceTree (or for any Google searchers with SourceTree), you can use WinMerge for the Merge Tool by setting the Merge Tool to custom, pointing Diff Command to WinMergeU.exe, typically: C:\Program Files (x86)\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe
