Can TortoiseMerge be used as a difftool with Windows Git Bash?

Question

I\'m just starting to work with Git. I would like to use TortoiseMerge as the difftool and mergetool.

In my $HOME/.gitconfig I have the following sections.

Answer 1

[diff]
  tool = tortoisediff
[difftool]
  prompt = false
[merge]
  tool = tortoisemerge
[mergetool]
  prompt = false
  keepBackup = false
[difftool "tortoisediff"]
  cmd = \""C:/Users/$USER/Desktop/TortoiseMerge.exe"\" -base:\"$BASE\" -mine:\"$LOCAL\" -theirs:\"$REMOTE\" -merged:\"$MERGED\"
[mergetool "tortoisemerge"]
  cmd = \""C:/Users/$USER/Desktop/TortoiseMerge.exe"\" -base:\"$BASE\" -mine:\"$LOCAL\" -theirs:\"$REMOTE\" -merged:\"$MERGED\"

This worked for me, using TortoiseMerge 1.6.7 (Portable)
