Git complains about no such file or directory when using difftool

问题

I configured git to use kdiff3 but it seems to give me the following error:

$ GIT_TRACE=1 git difftool
09:23:36.319531 git.c:419               trace: built-in: git difftool
09:23:36.321130 run-command.c:643       trace: run_command: GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=git-difftool--helper GIT_PAGER= git diff

error: cannot run git-difftool--helper: No such file or directory
fatal: external diff died, stopping at init.el

My configuration is:

[diff]
    tool  = kdiff3
[difftool]
    prompt = false
[difftool "kdiff3"]
    cmd = kdiff3 "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE"

Any Idea what's going on? I'm on linux if that makes a difference and I'm using git version 2.21.0

回答1:

Maybe you need to define kdiff3 on your PATH variable

回答2:

I had to download this script and put it in my path.
