I am using CYGWIN and Beyond Compare 4 Pro Edition. I have set up the following .gitconfig file:
[diff]
tool = bc3
[difftool "bc3"]
path = c:/program files/beyond compare 4/bcomp.exe
[merge]
tool = bc3
[mergetool "bc3"]
path = c:/program files/beyond compare 4/bcomp.exe
After making a small change to a local file, I run the following command in CYGWIN:
git difftool
Beyond Compare 4 launches correctly but only with the left side in all red. The right side is empty.
I would like this to launch with a simple comparison of my local changes (left) compared to the remote (right).
I was under the assumption that this was the default behavior? Is there another setting I am missing or is this only avaiable
