Git integration #5

Closed jonmseaman closed 6 years ago

jonmseaman commented 6 years ago

Have you tried integrating this with git as a diff tool?

I'm considering trying it out, as I would like to do version control with word files. I'm looking at how to do it on Stack Overflow It would be very useful for me.

I'm considering forking your repo to try it, just thought I would ask if you had first.

Hello. Yes, I'm using this as a diff tool for *.docx files. Using the SmartGit client, I've set up the following diff command:

command: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
parameters: -File X:\Path\To\ExtDiff\Diff-Word.ps1 "${leftFile}" "${rightFile}"

I have no experience in setting up the git diff tools through .gitconfig, but I'm sure that's possible. If you wish to investigate and add a small setup instruction to the Readme file (or small code changes in case they're mandatory to support git), I'd gladly accept such contribution.

Thanks I'll look into it this weekend!
