如何在 Beyond Compare 中查看 xltrail 生成的 Excel 工作簿差异？

Question

我将 Git 用于 Windows 和 xltrail extension to provide a readable output when using git diff <Excel workbook>. I'm also using the graphical diff/merge tool Beyond Compare 4 Pro，当使用 git difftool 时运行并提供一个很好的并排diff 和三向合并接口。

但是，当我运行 git difftool <Excel workbook> 时，我得到了正常的 git diff 输出，没有提示打开 Beyond Compare。如何让 Git、xltrail 和 Beyond Compare 协同工作？

在现有 C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Programs\Git xltrail\ 目录中创建可执行脚本 xltrail-bc-diff.sh：

#!/bin/bash
#
# xltrail-bc-diff.sh massages the output of git-xltrail-diff.exe and passes it
# into Beyond Compare in "Text Patch" mode.
#
# Input arguments from `git diff` are:
#                                        
#    path old-file old-hex old-mode new-file new-hex new-mode

path=""
tempDiffPath=`mktemp --suffix=".diff"`

# xltrail's diff output is color-coded with no option to remove it
# (see https://github.com/ZoomerAnalytics/git-xltrail/issues/30) so we use
# sed to strip the color codes.
git-xltrail-diff.exe $@ | sed 's/\x1b\[[0-9;]*m//g' > $tempDiffPath

BCompare.exe -fv="Text Patch" $tempDiffPath

将以下内容添加到您的 git 配置文件中：

[diff "xltrail-bc"]
    command = xltrail-bc-diff.sh

在存储库中应该有一个由 xltrail 创建的 .gitattributes 文件，用于将 Excel 文件与 xltrail 差异和合并工具相关联。更改 diff 条目以使用 xltrail-bc:

*.xla diff=xltrail-bc
*.xlam diff=xltrail-bc
*.xls diff=xltrail-bc
*.xlsb diff=xltrail-bc
*.xlsm diff=xltrail-bc
*.xlsx diff=xltrail-bc
*.xlt diff=xltrail-bc
*.xltm diff=xltrail-bc
*.xltx diff=xltrail-bc

现在 git diff <Excel workbook> 应该可以在 Beyond Compare 中打开。

原答案

首先，您需要用类似的东西设置您的 git：

git config --global diff.tool bc4
git config --global difftool.bc4.cmd "\"C:/Program Files (x86)/Beyond Compare 4/BCompare.exe\" \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\""
git config --global difftool.prompt false

然后，您可以 check/edit 您的 .git/config 文件，并确保有类似的东西：

[diff]
tool = bc4

如果还不够，请post你的.git/config文件。

编辑，以备进一步需要。看起来基本上不可能像那样插入 xtrail 和 Beyond Compare。我成功地重现了你的问题。我虽然可以在 .gitattributes 文件中做一些事情，但没有成功。

所以...唯一可能的解决方案（复杂的解决方案）是创建您自己的差异脚本，并将所有工具连接在一起。

在我这边，我尝试使用 GNU/Bash 脚本（你可以在你的 Windows 上安装 Git Bash 来支持它），但你可能想要创建一个 .bat 文件。

首先，您需要更新 .git/config 配置文件，指定新脚本文件的路径，例如：

[diff "myComplexDiff"]
    command = C:/Users/XXX/Documents/complexGitDiff.sh

然后，您需要 link 带有此差异的文件扩展名，更新您的 .gitattributes 文件，例如（为 ba adpated任何想要的扩展名）：

*.xls diff=myComplexDiff

然后，脚本可能如下所示：

#!/bin/bash -x
# Sample of information given by git
# b851185776b7826a6cc82d3aa6a8d53fa47e0c26 100644 simpleTest.xls 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 100644
fileName=""
tmpFile="/tmp/"$( date +'%s')"$fileName.diff"
git-xltrail-diff.exe $@ >"$tmpFile"
c:\Program\ Files\Beyond\ Compare\ 4\bcomp.exe "$fileName" "$tmpFile"

实际上我没有找到 Beyond Compare 需要的选项来接受 git-xltrail-diff.exe 的差异输出，但这是唯一剩下的事情了。

Answer 2

同时，这也适用于 SourceTree，与 BeyondCompare 不同，它是免费的。

只需确保在 git-xltrail 安装并激活时升级到最新版本的 SourceTree。您甚至不必更改任何设置，它应该就可以正常工作。
