I've recently installed BC4 to use with git, mostly from console. I've used the directions in the KB to register it as a merge tool in Git. However, it doesn't work.
What seems to be happening is that git doesn't seem to be taking the overrides that are specified by using git config --global mergetool.bc3.path. It is accepted, the .gitconfig file has the proper values, however every time I try to use git mergetool it keeps complaining that the "C:/Program Files (x86)/Beyond Compare 3/bcomp.exe" path doesn't exist.
I'm using GitHub for Windows 2.14.7.1 and the git CLI version 1.9.5.github.0.
What is the proper way to set BC4 as a merge tool in git? I've nearly pulled my hair out today trying to make it work, had to install BC3 trial to get a tough merge done.
Thanks!
