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

For using the TortoiseMerge with an existing TortoiseSVN installation in Windows:

[guitool "VisualDiff"]
    cmd = git difftool -y \"$FILENAME\"
    needsfile = yes
    noconsole = yes
[diff]
    tool = tortoisediff
[difftool]
    prompt = false
[merge]
    tool = tortoisemerge
[mergetool]
    prompt = false
    keepBackup = false
[difftool "tortoisediff"]
    cmd = \""W:/Programs/TortoiseSVN/bin/TortoiseMerge.exe"\" "/mine:$REMOTE" "/base:$LOCAL"
[mergetool "tortoisemerge"]
    cmd = \""W:/Programs/TortoiseSVN/bin/TortoiseMerge.exe"\" "/base:$BASE" "/theirs:$REMOTE" "/mine:$LOCAL" "/merged:$MERGED"
