How to install Meld on Windows and getting it set up with Git
Raw
InstallingMeld.md

Install Meld from their webpage http://meldmerge.org/

I had to tell git where it was:

git config --global merge.tool meld git config --global diff.tool meld

If using windows 8 and 10 use the following git config --global mergetool.meld.path "/c/Program Files (x86)/meld/meld.exe" git config --global difftool.meld.path "/c/Program Files (x86)/meld/meld.exe"

Else use “C:\Program Files (x86)\Meld\meld\meld.exe” for the path

If you don't want the terminal to prompt you to open with the meld difftool or mergetool we will need to disable the prompt

git config --global difftool.prompt false

git config --global mergetool.prompt false

And that seems to work. Both merging and diffing with “git difftool” or “git mergetool”
