Note: I’m using the –no-ff option because I don’t have an actual merge conflict in my branch, so I need to tell git not to do a fast-forward. I guess this is an inverse of “ sudo make me a sandwich” which would be “hey sudo, about that sandwich, if you take all the stuff out of the refrigerator, I’ll finish making it myself.” In other words, you are telling git, “Do the merge, but allow me to hit the commit button.” Perhaps you want to hit F5 or perform some other testing. There’s the “did you give a dog a sandwich?” story, but not a “come join the dark side” option destroying your saved game!įollowing from yesterday’s tip, suppose you have a branch that you plan to merge, but before the merge is committed, you want to verify things. If you said yes, the game would “freeze” and IIRC, it would erase your saved game! I’ve never heard of another game doing this. Before going into battle with the Dragonlord, he’d ask you to join him in being evil and taking over the universe. The game had their basic “hero” ending, but it also offered a twist. The most memorable aspect of the game was the ending… but not for the reasons you’d think. Since it is staged, we can simply commit it via `git commit -m “my merge message”`Īnd boom! I’ve now done epic battle with one of my most feared Git foes.
Perfect! We’re done with myfile1.txt and it is staged. You can do a `git status` to verify where you are at. This used to freak me out because git didn’t “move on”. Don’t quote me on this.Īfter modifying the resulting myfile1.text and hitting save in p4merge and closing it, we’re back to the merge conflict state. I’m not going to go over p4merge, but I think the “error” showing for the base file is because p4merge is trying to do a 3-way merge, but only has 2 files. Now let’s create a merge conflict, but this time, I’m going to keep my heart rate low when the (master|MERGING) appears! Btw I called my branch `conflicting` just because. $ git config –global ‘C:\Program Files\Perforce\p4merge.exe’
P4merge command line windows#
Thanks to these for Windows we can setup p4merge as our merge and diff tools using Git Shell (I’m using Git Bash) I’ll assume you have p4merge installed here in C:\Program Files\Perforce But why can’t you have it all on the same line? What am I missing?Īnd also, what is “mergetool”? is it yet another variable? and how does it differ from merge.tool? Set up a merge wrapper script named extMerge that calls your binary with all the arguments provided So why need two lines? Perhaps I’m not recalling enough of my shell programming or the translation fails over to Windows? The instructions say 'extMerge "$BASE" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED"' These are the two lines I get stuck on: $ git config -global merge.tool extMerge The journey to 3rd degree black belt starts with a single punch. Yes I know there are others, but for now, I’m going to follow these instructions. I’m going to assume you’ve installed p4merge. Let’s start by engaging in epic battle with the git-scm instructions. The mentor wizard person (because there’s always a mentor wizard person) would tell you, “Aren’t you strong enough to defeat the DragonLord?”Īs I debated whether I knew enough to write a tip about configuring your git diff and merge tools, I ask myself “Aren’t you strong enough to defeat the git diff merge config tool?!”įor today’s tip, I’m using the git-scm instructions and this translation for Windows At level 30, you couldn’t gain any more experience points.
P4merge command line install#
P4Merge is included in the P4 Installer, when executing the installer you’re are able to install P4Merge only, you have to download the entire installer however.
P4merge command line how to#
I mainly use the Bash and TortoiseGit when working with GIT, this article demonstrates how to integrate P4Merge with TortoiseGit. Fortunately you can install P4Merge separately without the rest of the system. Personally I prefer Git over Perforce, but Perforce has a great merging/diff tool called P4Merge.
The team I’m currently working with uses Perforce as their versioning system.
