How do I use Notepad++ Compare as the diff tool in git bash/command line?

问题

Is there any way to change the default diff tool in gitbash?

This post seems to suggest it is possible but they provided no command line examples. Link: Running NotePad++ from Command line with Compare Plugin showing compare result

Since the official diff plugin for Notepad++ seems to be uph0/compare, a possible setting could be:

$ git config --global --add diff.guitool nppdiff
$ git config --global --add difftool.nppdiff.path "C:/Program Files/Notepad++/plugins/ComparePlugin/compare.exe"
$ git config --global --add difftool.nppdiff.trustExitCode false
