Setting p4merge up as the mergetool for git is really simple. If you’re using the git-gui, right click on the contents of the merged file, and select use merge tool. Using a tool to resolve the conflicts is done with the “git mergetool” command. P4merge seemed like it was the most highly thought of graphical merge tools among the team, so setting that up for merges and diffs would probably be easiest. So there should be a way to let my more graphically oriented peers deal with the merges and inevitable conflicts more gracefully. In most compiled languages, leaving that stuff in the source, kind of breaks things. Working with some people that are just starting to use git, I see a lot of files getting checked back in with the merge markers like “<<<<<<< HEAD” still in the files.

However, for windows users it’s got a really steep learning curve, especially when resolving merge conflicts. Path = C:/YourPathToBinaryHere/KDiff3/kdiff3.Git is a great cross platform version control system. It basically amounted to adding these lines to my.

I'm using Portable Git on WinXP (works a treat!), and needed to resolve a conflict that came up in branching. Setting will not work anymore since Git has started trying to support p4merge, see libexec/git-core/git-mergetool-lib.so we just need to specify the mergetool path for git,for example the p4merge: git config -global 'C:\Program Files\Perforce\p4merge.exe'

$LOCALAPPDATA/Perforce/p4merge.exe), git does not seem to be expanding environment variables for paths (if you know how to get this working, please let me know or update this answer)

  • Even better would have been to take advantage of an environment variable (e.g.
  • Although ~ should expand to current user's home directory (so in theory the path should be ~/AppData/Local/Perforce/p4merge.exe), this did not work for me.
  • The above is an example path when p4merge was installed for the current user, not system-wide (does not need admin rights or UAC elevation).
  • If it was listed as valid, you have to define in addition to merge.tool: git config -global c:/Users/my-login/AppData/Local/Perforce/p4merge.exe If p4merge was listed as available, it is in your PATH and you only have to set merge.tool: git config -global merge.tool p4merge You should see p4merge in either available or valid list. You can display list of supported tools by running: git mergetool -tool-help

  • note that by default Perforce will add its installation dir to PATH, thus no need to specify full path to p4merge in the commandĪs pointed out by Pakosz, latest msys git now "natively" supports p4merge (tested on 1.8.5.2.msysgit.0).
  • added double quotes for all file names so that files with spaces can still be found by the merge tool (I tested this in msys Git from Powershell).
  • the custom tool config value resides in "mergetool.cmd", not "merge.cmd" (silly me, spent an hour troubleshooting why git kept complaining about non-existing tool).
  • valid for all git projects not just the current one The changes (relative to Charles Bailey): Or, from a windows cmd.exe shell, the second line becomes : git config -global "p4merge.exe \"$BASE\" \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\" \"$MERGED\"" To follow-up on Charles Bailey's answer, here's my git setup that's using p4merge (free cross-platform 3way merge tool) tested on msys Git (Windows) install: git config -global merge.tool p4merge
