I am using Windows 10. I am diffing 256 files in one folder to 256 files in another I am using the command git difftool --cached to display files in Beyond Compare. The display out put in Git Bash says:
Viewing (1/256): '3-M-ALABAMA-SUIQUARTER2-LABEL.txt' Launch 'bc' [Y/n]? y
Which is great so it is showing 256 file differences the problem is that it invokes beyond compare for a file to file compare view 2 files at a time which i do not want because I do not want to generate a report for each file comparison.
So I use the command git difftool --cached --dir-diff and I expect to see in Beyond Compare 256 files on the left and 256 files on right sent from git. Basically I expect it to do the same thing as the command git difftool --cached (but with all the file names listed on each side)
However I only get 86 files on the left and 86 files on the right in Beyond Compare. This is the problem.
My goal is have folders left and right each have 256 files each and then I can simply run an HTML comparison report.
Any help would be appreciated It. I googled this issue alot and found information but not an answer to my particular problem.
