Configuring git to use winmerge

Using github desktop, open a Git Shell (I have it configured to use Git Bash).
Then these commands to configure merge and diff tools (assuming you have winmerge installed):

git config merge.tool winmerge --global
git config diff.tool winmerge --global


And then to use it, type this in Git Bash:

git mergetool
