Using meld as difftool for git but listing all files in one window

Question

I want to use meld as my diff tool for git.

If I configure my .gitconfig like this :

[difftool]
    prompt = false
[diff]
    tool = meld


        

Answer 1

I fixed my problem by removing meld and use a new version (3.12.3) of it:
sudo apt-get remove meld

Now my .gitconfig is like :

[difftool]
    prompt = false

[diff]
    tool = meld
    guitool = meld

[difftool "meld"]
    path = /home/me/App/meld/meld-3.12.3/bin/meld

And the result from the folowing commands are :

• git diff : terminal diff of each modified files
• git diff <myfile> : terminal diff of <myfile>
• git difftool <myfile> : meld diff of <myfile>
• git difftool : meld diff of each modified files, one bye one
• git difftool -d : meld diff of each file, into a single window

I have also add this line to my bash_alias but I think it could work without.
alias meld='/home/benjamin/Applications/meld/meld-3.12.3/bin/meld'
