git show commit in beyond compare

Question

I would like to see a specific commit in Beyond Compare or any other separate diff tool while viewing it via git show. I tried looking at help of git show/difftool/

Answer 1

I managed to use git difftool to see commits that I normally used to see via git show.

git show $commit translates to git difftool $commit^ $commit.

The above command shows difference between commit's parent ($commit^) and commit. All this is of course after configuring Beyond Compare with difftool.
