How to use meld with Sourcetree on Windows

gistfile1.md

• Install meld
• Add location of meld.exe to the PATH, e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Meld
• In SourceTree, go to Tools/Options/Diff
• In External Diff Tool, choose Custom
• Enter meld in Diff Command and $LOCAL $REMOTE in Arguments
• Click Ok and restart SourceTree

Better to define $LOCAL $MERGED $REMOTE

In this case Meld will open mine file in the left tab, their - in the right, and the resulting file in the middle. It is very useful, since you could easy copy lines from left (mine) or right tab (their) to the result of merging.

This breaks if the filepath has a space in it, and quotes don't seem to work - any ideas?

using 8.3 file names did the trick for me.

Did this break for anyone else when moving to version 1.8 of sourcetree?

Yep, the settings for this were removed - probably.

This worked for me, but I had to type this for it to work instead of what was suggested: meld.exe

Step 2, what is the PATH? Is that a setting in Sourcetree?
I know the path to Meld.exe, I'm just not sure where I'm putting that info.

This is how I have configured :

Just to add to the previous comments and question from @vadimnehta

You can add escaped quotes around the variables to handle files with spaces in the path or name.

\"$LOCAL\" \"$MERGED\" \"$REMOTE\"
