git diff doesn't work in Parallels windows environment #54

Closed MasterSergius closed 4 years ago

MasterSergius commented 4 years ago

I'm working on Mac and the only one to work well with VBA for excel - use some Windows environment. I've decided to use Parallels Desktop (kinda of virtualization software) with Windows 10 on my Mac. Command git xl ls-files - works perfectly, but git diff says only "files differ" and that's all.

Hi, this won't have anything to do with Parallels. Are you sure that you enabled Git XL after running the installer application? You need to run either git xl install or git xl install --local.

Yes, I performed git xl install, otherwise how it is supposed to list all files:

$ git xl ls-files

./test_wb.xlsm
    VBA/Document/Thisworkbook
    VBA/Document/Sheet1
    VBA/Module/Module1

git xl ls-files will work after running the graphical installer without any further steps. To use the diff, you will additionally need to run git xl install --local or git xl install on a command prompt wich will register Git XL as the differ.

Hmm, suddenly it started to work after local install, interesting, probably, let's close this issue
