How to install Meld on Windows and getting it set up with Git
After installing it http://sourceforge.net/projects/meld-installer/
I had to tell git where it was:
git config --global merge.tool meld
git config --global diff.tool meld
git config --global mergetool.meld.path “C:\Program Files (x86)\Meld\meld\meld.exe”
And that seems to work. Both merging and diffing with “git difftool” or “git mergetool”

I am having trouble setting this up. My errors look exactly like https://stackoverflow.com/q/58100654/2988730. It appears that GTK is not getting picked up for some reason.

I added this to my path (env variable):

C:\Program Files (x86)\Meld

That way I can share my git config between windows and ubuntu (dont need to set mergetool.meld.path)
