How to link external diff tool(beyond compare) in source tree?

I am using Source tree client for Git on windows 7. I have used beyond compare with tortoisehg client for mercurial and I like to use Beyond compare itself as diff too in SourceTree too. I set the diff tool to beyond compare in Tools -> Options but not sure how to launch diff too via source tree for any file. Double click on file should usually bring up diff view. Right-click -> Custom action also does nothing.

Beyond compare 3.3.13 & source tree 2.1.2.5

Please let me know how to configure this.

Solution

  • It works for me:

    1. After the installation, check whether you have set this in SourceTree options:

    Beyond Compare Link with SourceTree

    1. Right click on the file(s) you want to compare and fire up Beyond Compare:

    Firing up BeyondCompare Tool

    Beyond Compare 4.2.2 & SourceTree 2.1.2.5

    Also please make sure your Beyond Compare trial period has not ended
