================
NAME
----
git-mergetool - Run merge conflict resolution tools to resolve merge conflicts
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-mergetool' [--tool=<tool>] [<file>]...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Use 'git mergetool' to run one of several merge utilities to resolve
merge conflicts. It is typically run after gitlink:git-merge[1].
If one or more <file> parameters are given, the merge tool program will
be run to resolve differences on each file. If no <file> names are
specified, 'git mergetool' will run the merge tool program on every file
with merge conflicts.
OPTIONS
-------
-t or --tool=<tool>::
Use the merge resolution program specified by <tool>.
Valid merge tools are:
kdiff3, tkdiff, meld, xxdiff, emerge, vimdiff, gvimdiff, ecmerge, and opendiff
+
If a merge resolution program is not specified, 'git mergetool'
will use the configuration variable merge.tool. If the
configuration variable merge.tool is not set, 'git mergetool'
will pick a suitable default.
+
You can explicitly provide a full path to the tool by setting the
configuration variable mergetool.<tool>.path. For example, you
can configure the absolute path to kdiff3 by setting
mergetool.kdiff3.path. Otherwise, 'git mergetool' assumes the tool
is available in PATH.
