When type of conflict is removed file conflict, git difftool command opens p4merge. I tried Smooth Git + P4merge but it does not work for me also I tried to do as described in External Merge and Diff Tools but I did not understand that. But when I use git difftool command in git bash, I expect p4merge but I see internal implementation of diff in git bash. =C:/Program Files/Perforce/p4merge.exeĭ=C:/Program Files/Perforce/p4merge.exe Git config -global "C:/Program Files/Perforce/p4merge.exe"Īnd these lines are from git config: merge.tool=p4merge Git config -global "C:/Program Files/Perforce/p4merge.exe" I follow this article and this one to setup and config p4merge: git config -global merge.tool p4merge I want to use p4merge as Git diff/merge tool. The editor has a built-in diffing tool for blueprints where you can look at differences in each graph or diff the default values.I use windows 7. This can be extremely useful when trying to track down a regression (be kind to future you and write good checkin comments).īlueprints are a much more visual medium and a textual diff wouldn’t be very helpful. History gives you a full list of the previous checkins and their descriptions, and you can diff any two arbitrary revisions from the history window (select two revisions and right-click). Comparing your current version against depot before checking in is a useful habit to form it will help you write better checkin comments and can also help catch changes you made to test something but didn’t intend to keep. Any asset can be diffed, and the default handler will export the asset to a readable text format and launch your preferred text diffing tool (some assets have a more sophisticated viewer). Once you are connected, you’ll see additional options in the context menu for Assets, such as ‘Check Out’, ‘History’, and ‘Diff Against Depot’. It defaults to p4merge, but almost any diff tool should work (e.g., Beyond Compare, Araxis Merge, Tortoise Merge, etc…) Next, you need to tell the editor where it can find your favorite text diff tool in Editor Preferences. If the icon is green, you are already connected, but if it shows up as a red no sign then click on it to enter your server settings. You can tell if your editor is currently connected to source control by the little icon on the top right of the main frame, next to the prompt. Note: SVN binaries were not included in the 4.0 release, check out this thread for more details SVN is totally free and there are a number of cloud SVN providers if you don’t want to host your own server. Perforce is what we use internally at Epic, and it is now free for up to 20 users (and 20 workspaces you’ll probably end up using 2 or 3 per human user). The editor currently has source control plugins for both Perforce and SVN. You’ll need to store your project in a supported source control system for the built-in tools to work. We’ve got you covered with support for exporting a text version of assets that can be diffed using your preferred tool, as well as a built-in specialized diff tool for Blueprints. However, regular diff tools don’t work very well on binary files like Unreal. So, source control is awesome, and you should be using it! One of the benefits of source control is being able to look at previous versions of files and compare or ‘diff’ them to see how things have changed.
