Setting up an IntelliJ IDE as diff tool Windows
suggest change[diff]
tool = intellij
guitool = intellij
[difftool "intellij"]
path = D:/Program Files (x86)/JetBrains/IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2/bin/idea.bat
cmd = cmd \"/C D:\\workspace\\tools\\symlink\\idea\\bin\\idea.bat diff $(cd $(dirname "$LOCAL") && pwd)/$(basename "$LOCAL") $(cd $(dirname "$REMOTE") && pwd)/$(basename "$REMOTE")\"
The one gotcha here is that this cmd
property does not accept any weird characters in the path. If your IDE’s install location has weird characters in it (e.g. it’s installed in Program Files (x86)
, you’ll have to create a symlink
Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea?
