How to define beyond compare 4 as external diff driver for git

[orn]

Hello,

I want to use beyond compare 4 as external diff driver to compare binary files.
For Example I want to use bc4 as diff command for zip files not as difftool.

Thanks,,
OR

Hello,

Our directions for the difftool definition do apply to all files:

I'm not familiar with how to define different extensions to apply to different git calls. I did find articles like this:
https://medium.com/@mbrehin/git-adva...t-25afbf4f1105
which detail how to convert from binary to text.
and
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...n-in-git-exten
which looks like if you use TortoiseGit you can define it per extension in their options dialog.

Thanks Aaron.
Unfortunately that didn't help me.
I need a script that compare two files and generate a text compare report file (patch file). I tried the following script that create an empty patch file , what am I doing wrong?:

text-report layoutatch &
optionsatch-unified &
output-to:"D:\temp\bcTemp\report.patch"

Thanks

The text-report command needs the names of the two input files.

text-report layout:patch options:patch-unified output-to:report.patch file1.txt file2.txt
