Meld as diff tool in gitk in Windows


I am always annoyed when I use gitk, which forces me to configure a separate diff tool. While this works fine for me in Linux, it is an absolute hell on Windows. I am trying to use Meld, so I wrote a .bat, for mapping parameters:

meld.exe %2 %5

Sadly gitk does not print anything to stdout or stderr and just does not work. Has anyone gotten Meld working on gitk on Windows?


Solution

  • The recent version of meld now worked for me. Had to fix some bugs.
