How to set Meld as git mergetool

问题

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 cask install 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"

回答3:

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\"

回答4:

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

After installing it http://meldmerge.org/ I had to tell git where it was:

git config --global merge.tool meld
git config --global diff.tool meld
git config --global mergetool.meld.path “C:\Program Files (x86)\Meld\meld.exe”

And that seems to work. Both merging and diffing with “git difftool” or “git mergetool”

If someone facing issue such as Meld crash after starting (problem indication with python) then you need to set up Meld/lib to your system environment variable as bellow C:\Program Files (x86)\Meld\lib

For windows add the path for meld is like below:

 git config --global mergetool.meld.path C:\\Meld_run\\Meld.exe
