Using diff tool defined in .gitconfig

Answered

Hi,

I have some archives in my code base, they are small and necessary and would be less pain to not have to decompress them.

I have configured my global .gitconfig with the required details for using Zipdoc as stated in the documentation at https://github.com/costerwi/zipdoc and this works great when i run "git diff" in the terminal, showing me a diff of the archive's contents.

I have a preference to using the IDE tools for all my dev activities, and therefore need a way to be able to see the diff within the IDE for these archives, does anyone know how I can go about getting this working?

Best Regards,

Mahlatse

Matt,

It's a feature request, so it has lower priority then bugs. We have a lot of different feature requests and it's impossible to integrate them all, so firstly we integrate the most voted features.
