What's the Point ???
Using Beyond Compare on the Mac
with SourceTree
Go to Advanced and fill out the form like this...
Run the Beyond Compare Installer...
Woohoo, the hard part's done...
Click Install and save BeyondCompare.app into your Applications folder.
Launch SourceTree
Go to Preferences
Click the Diff icon
Open up a terminal window and do the following. When you run the wget command, just paste in the URL from the previous step.
I have updated WineBottler's startup script to fix pathing and argument problems when being called from git or SourceTree. The startwine file that you are going to overwrite the default with can be pulled from a git repo.
Drag the Wine and WineBottler apps into your Applications folder. Wine is a shim library for running Windows apps on the Mac. WineBottler is a utility app for making it easier to create a nice self-contained app.
Don't try this key. It's fake.

In SourceTree, right-click a file and chose External Diff.
Works the same way

Like many others who have switched over to a Mac from Windows for development, I also found a painful hole in my developer toolset when it came to source control. SourceTree is a pretty good git client, but it's diff/merge tools are pretty weak.
Beyond Compare, from Scooter Software is such a great diff/merge tool, that I would frequently spin up a Windows VM just to use it.
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to use WineBottler to create a Mac-compatible wrapper for Beyond Compare.
- Go to this site and click the Source link.
- Click the startwine file link.
