Setting diff tool permenantly in SourceTree.

atkalikar March 19, 2014

I use Araxis Merge as diff tool. Everytime I start SourceTree client I need to set Araxis merge as diff tool from Tools menu of SourceTree, I just want to get rid of it. Is there any way to set it permenantly?

We probably need to make this clearer in SourceTree. If you don't allow SourceTree to modify your global Git/Hg config (specified in the 'General' tab of your prefs) then you can't set a diff tool. Just change that option and it should work.

What do you have set for the option "Allow SourceTree to modify your global Git and Mercurial config files"? (Options > General)
