Kdiff3 won't open with mergetool command

Question

I have conflicts, so I type:

git mergetool

I then get a message saying:

Hit return to start merge resolution tool

I haven't used git for this purpose on Windows in a while, but your config file shows some interesting differences re: program strings.

[core]
    editor = \"C:/Program Files (x86)/GitExtensions/GitExtensions.exe\" fileeditor   autocrlf = true

vs

[difftool "kdiff3"]
    path = c:/Program Files (x86)/KDiff3/kdiff3.exe

I suspect that there might be some issue with the spaces in the program name. Try setting your diff/mergetool executable paths to:

path = \"c:/Program Files (x86)/KDiff3/kdiff3.exe\"
