NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-mergetool - Run merge conflict resolution tools to resolve merge conflicts |
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
[verse] |
|
'git mergetool' [--tool=<tool>] [-y | --[no-]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 (skipping those without |
|
conflicts). Specifying a directory will include all unresolved files in |
|
that path. 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 values include emerge, gvimdiff, kdiff3, |
|
meld, vimdiff, and tortoisemerge. Run `git mergetool --tool-help` |
|
for the list of valid <tool> settings. |
|
+ |
|
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. |
|
|
|
--tool-help:: |
|
Print a list of merge tools that may be used with `--tool`. |
|
|
|
-y:: |
|
--no-prompt:: |
|
Don't prompt before each invocation of the merge resolution |
|
program. |
|
This is the default if the merge resolution program is |
|
explicitly specified with the `--tool` option or with the |
|
`merge.tool` configuration variable. |
|
|
|
--prompt:: |
|
Prompt before each invocation of the merge resolution program |
|
to give the user a chance to skip the path. |
|
|
|
TEMPORARY FILES |
|
--------------- |
|
`git mergetool` creates `*.orig` backup files while resolving merges. |
|
These are safe to remove once a file has been merged and its |
|
`git mergetool` session has completed. |
|
|
|
Setting the `mergetool.keepBackup` configuration variable to `false` |
|
causes `git mergetool` to automatically remove the backup as files |
|
are successfully merged. |
