I'm guessing you're running this from git bash, in which case try cmd //c C:/Program Files/WinMerge/winmerge.bat See https://stackoverflow.com/a/21907301 Basically a song and dance has to be done to work with Windows quirks. If you're still having issues, it's best to follow up in the Git for Windows discussion group https://groups.google.com/g/git-for-windows
