用beyongd compare作为Git 的diff 以及 merge工具

BC官方支持： http://www.scootersoftware.com/support.php?zz=kb_vcs#gitwindows

GIT FOR WINDOWS

BC version 4

Diff

At a Windows command prompt enter the commands:
  git config --global diff.tool bc3
  git config --global difftool.bc3.path "c:/Program Files (x86)/Beyond Compare 4/bcomp.exe"


Note: Git versions older than 2.2.0 (git --version) use "bc3" as the keyword for BC4. For Git 2.2.0+, use "bc". To launch a diff using Beyond Compare, use the command "git difftool foofile.txt".

3-way Merge

At a Windows command prompt, enter the commands:
  git config --global merge.tool bc3
  git config --global mergetool.bc3.path "c:/Program Files (x86)/Beyond Compare 4/bcomp.exe"


Note: Git versions older than 2.2.0 (git --version) use "bc3" as the keyword for BC4. For Git 2.2.0+, use "bc". To launch a 3-way merge using Beyond Compare, use the command "git mergetool foofile.txt".

当安装以上设置配置好后，采用gifftool即可打开beyond compare进行对比

git difftool <file>

请注意，不是 git diff 仅是---,++++文字性格式的对比。

另外，如果想使用beyond compare比较两个分支的差异， 可以加上参数--dir-dif

git difftool --dir-dif master dev  &
