configuring araxis merge with git version 2.5.1.windows.1

Question

I am trying to configure araxis merge with git and tried the thread below:

How do I configure Araxis Merge for use with Git?

however it did not work for me. here's how my .git config looks like:

[user]
    email = [email protected]
    name = MyName
[mergetool "araxis"]
    path = "C:/Program Files/Araxis/Araxis Merge/Merge.exe"
[difftool "araxis"]
    path = "C:/Program Files/Araxis/Araxis Merge/Merge.exe"

but when I try, $ git difftool I get:

This message is displayed because diff.tool is not configured.
See 'git difftool --tool-help' or 'git help config' for more details.
'git difftool' will now attempt to use one of the following tools:
kompare emerge vimdiff

Can someone spot the issue?
