NAME

|
|
git-mergetool - Run merge conflict resolution tools to resolve merge conflicts
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git mergetool' [--tool=<tool>] [-y|--no-prompt|--prompt] [<file>]...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Use `git mergetool` to run one of several merge utilities to resolve
|
|
merge conflicts. It is typically run after 'git-merge'.
|
|
|
|
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 <tool>::
|
|
--tool=<tool>::
|
|
Use the merge resolution program specified by <tool>.
|
|
Valid merge tools are:
|
|
kdiff3, tkdiff, meld, xxdiff, emerge, vimdiff, gvimdiff, ecmerge,
|
|
diffuse, tortoisemerge, opendiff, p4merge and araxis.
|
|
+
|
|
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.
|
|
+
|
|
Instead of running one of the known merge tool programs,
|
|
'git-mergetool' can be customized to run an alternative program
|
|
by specifying the command line to invoke in a configuration
|
|
variable `mergetool.<tool>.cmd`.
|
|
+
|
|
When 'git-mergetool' is invoked with this tool (either through the
|
|
`-t` or `--tool` option or the `merge.tool` configuration
|
|
variable) the configured command line will be invoked with `$BASE`
|
|
set to the name of a temporary file containing the common base for
|
|
the merge, if available; `$LOCAL` set to the name of a temporary
|
|
file containing the contents of the file on the current branch;
|
|
`$REMOTE` set to the name of a temporary file containing the
|
|
contents of the file to be merged, and `$MERGED` set to the name
|
|
of the file to which the merge tool should write the result of the
|
|
merge resolution.
|
|
+
|
|
If the custom merge tool correctly indicates the success of a
|
|
merge resolution with its exit code, then the configuration
|
|
variable `mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode` can be set to `true`.
|
|
Otherwise, 'git-mergetool' will prompt the user to indicate the
|
|
success of the resolution after the custom tool has exited.
|
|
|
|
-y::
|
|
--no-prompt::
|
|
Don't prompt before each invocation of the merge resolution
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
--prompt::
|
|
Prompt before each invocation of the merge resolution program.
|
|
This is the default behaviour; the option is provided to
|
|
override any configuration settings.
