How do you then call winmerge using git and your difftool
command on one file or between two commits is what I am missing?
I tried
git difftool my_file.txt
and
git difftool
without success. Nothing happened! Would you help a newcomer to git? Thank you.

I guess you just don't have put winmerge.sh in a folder present in the PATH.
