Git mergetool with Araxis

Monday 05 December 2011 at 10:00 pm. Used tags: , , , , ,

Just thought I'd drop this quick note should you also find the settings on the Araxis website don't work with your .gitconfig, I went through many attempts but this simple version worked for me.

[merge]
	tool = araxis
[mergetool "araxis"]
	cmd = araxisgitmerge.exe \"$REMOTE\" \"$BASE\" \"$PWD/LOCAL\" \"$PWD/MERGED\"

…or alternatively…

git config --global merge.tool araxis
git config --global mergetool.araxis.cmd 'araxisgitmerge.exe \"$REMOTE\" \"$BASE\" \"$PWD/LOCAL\" \"$PWD/MERGED\"'

Note: I added the Araxis installation directory to my PATH environment variable so not necessary above.

This is a very interesting idea! It does leave some questions about how it is “policed”, and who decides whether a particular blog post, or SO answer warrants the credits, but I really do think that i…

Being both a developer and a leader of developers, I have found little to be as integral to the speed and success of software development as intellisense. This is also why I leverage R# on top of Vis…

I have to admit that Spark won me over very quickly, yes it is not perfect and yes I am not an expert in the subject but it has provided me with new skills. I have been a victim of its lack of intellis…

Intellisense helps me code faster and make less mistakes. However, from a personal point of view, it can be the difference between enjoying development and not enjoying development – and if you don’t …
