To use Code Compare with Git Extensions, you need to add the following lines to the gitconfig file:
[difftool "codecompare"] cmd = \"C:\\Program Files\\Devart\\Code Compare\\CodeCompare.exe\" -W \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\" renames = true [diff] tool = codecompare guitool = codecompare [mergetool "codecompare"] cmd = \"C:\\Program Files\\Devart\\Code Compare\\CodeMerge.exe\" -MF \"$LOCAL\" -TF \"$REMOTE\" -BF \"$BASE\" -RF \"$MERGED\" trustExitCode = true [mergetool] keepBackup = false [merge] tool = codecompare guitool = codecompare
Note: The global gitconfig file is located in C:\Users\MyLogin\.gitconfig. The config file for a local repository is located in repository root in the ".git" folder (this folder is hidden by default).
