OSX Using Beyond Compare as git difftool

When trying to launch Beyond Compare using git, I get this error:

The diff tool bc3 is not available as 'bcompare'

fatal: external diff died, stopping at plugins/PushPlugin.m

Set up diff tool:

$ git config --global diff.tool bc3

Try to compare directory:

$ git difftool plugins

Viewing (1/2): 'plugins/PushPlugin.m'
Launch 'bc3' [Y/n]: y
Solution

  • Launch Beyond Compare, go to the Beyond Compare menu and run Install Command Line Tools.
