I ignored till now that it has CLI, but I'm still too lazy to try translate your one liner with two sub-shells to CMD/BAT ° and kdiff3.

gitbash does this job with little snippets just fine :)

°) if that's even possible

When tried it, kdiff3 was decent, but a pale shadow of Beyond Compare. Does it even support editing?

Not sure what you mean with "editing", I can edit the opened files

Thanks I'll take a look at "beyond compare".
