Git Diff and Meld on Windows

Answer 1

I tried several variations of trying to set the path with git config to no avail. Since I want to use Meld from the Git Bash console window, what did work was to export the path to the Meld directory, restart the Bash shell and lo & behold git difftool --tool-help and git mergetool --tool-help now recognize Meld, and I can choose it as my preferred tool.

.profile

export PATH=/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Meld/:$PATH

.gitconfig

[merge]
    tool = meld
[diff]
    tool = meld
