How do I get araxis merge to work as a git difftool

Question

I've been trying to setup araxis as git difftool, but it never works.

I looked at this thread but it is incomplete:

How do I configure Araxis Merge for use with Git?

here is part of my global config.

[difftool "araxis"]
    path = "C:/Program Files/Araxis/Araxis Merge/Merge.exe"
[diff]

[core]
    autocrlf = true

Answer 1

Totally bad and wrong definition in [difftool]

I don't have Git+Araxis, but Araxis docs recommends in "Integrating with Source Control, Configuration Management and Other Applications" chapter's topic Git for Windows (msysGit)

[diff]
tool = araxis
[difftool "araxis"]
path = C:\\Program Files\\Araxis\\Araxis Merge\\compare.exe

note:

• filename of differ
• double backlsashes for separating path-elements
