460 <div class="sectionbody">
461 <div class="paragraph">
462 <p>Use <code>git</code> <code>mergetool</code> to run one of several merge utilities to resolve
463 merge conflicts. It is typically run after <em>git merge</em>.</p>
464 </div>
465 <div class="paragraph">
466 <p>If one or more &lt;file&gt; parameters are given, the merge tool program will
467 be run to resolve differences in each file (skipping those without
468 conflicts). Specifying a directory will include all unresolved files in
469 that path. If no &lt;file&gt; names are specified, <em>git mergetool</em> will run
470 the merge tool program on every file with merge conflicts.</p>
471 </div>
472 </div>
473 </div>
474 <div class="sect1">
475 <h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>
476 <div class="sectionbody">

479 <dt class="hdlist1">-t &lt;tool&gt;</dt>
480 <dt class="hdlist1">--tool=&lt;tool&gt;</dt>
481 <dd>
482 <p>Use the merge resolution program specified by &lt;tool&gt;.
483 Valid values include emerge, gvimdiff, kdiff3,
484 meld, vimdiff, and tortoisemerge. Run <code>git</code> <code>mergetool</code> <code>--tool-help</code>
485 for the list of valid &lt;tool&gt; settings.</p>
486 <div class="paragraph">
487 <p>If a merge resolution program is not specified, <em>git mergetool</em>
488 will use the configuration variable <code>merge.tool</code>. If the
489 configuration variable <code>merge.tool</code> is not set, <em>git mergetool</em>
490 will pick a suitable default.</p>
491 </div>
492 <div class="paragraph">
493 <p>You can explicitly provide a full path to the tool by setting the
494 configuration variable <code>mergetool.</code><em>&lt;tool&gt;</em><code>.path</code>. For example, you
495 can configure the absolute path to kdiff3 by setting
496 <code>mergetool.kdiff3.path</code>. Otherwise, <em>git mergetool</em> assumes the
497 tool is available in PATH.</p>
498 </div>
499 <div class="paragraph">
500 <p>Instead of running one of the known merge tool programs,
501 <em>git mergetool</em> can be customized to run an alternative program
502 by specifying the command line to invoke in a configuration
503 variable <code>mergetool.</code><em>&lt;tool&gt;</em><code>.cmd</code>.</p>
504 </div>
505 <div class="paragraph">
506 <p>When <em>git mergetool</em> is invoked with this tool (either through the
507 <code>-t</code> or <code>--tool</code> option or the <code>merge.tool</code> configuration
508 variable), the configured command line will be invoked with <code>$BASE</code>
509 set to the name of a temporary file containing the common base for
510 the merge, if available; <code>$LOCAL</code> set to the name of a temporary
511 file containing the contents of the file on the current branch;
512 <code>$REMOTE</code> set to the name of a temporary file containing the
513 contents of the file to be merged, and <code>$MERGED</code> set to the name
514 of the file to which the merge tool should write the result of the
515 merge resolution.</p>
516 </div>
517 <div class="paragraph">
518 <p>If the custom merge tool correctly indicates the success of a
519 merge resolution with its exit code, then the configuration
520 variable <code>mergetool.</code><em>&lt;tool&gt;</em><code>.trustExitCode</code> can be set to <code>true</code>.
521 Otherwise, <em>git mergetool</em> will prompt the user to indicate the
522 success of the resolution after the custom tool has exited.</p>
523 </div>
524 </dd>
525 <dt class="hdlist1">--tool-help</dt>

527 <p>Print a list of merge tools that may be used with <code>--tool</code>.</p>
528 </dd>
529 <dt class="hdlist1">-y</dt>
530 <dt class="hdlist1">--no-prompt</dt>
531 <dd>
532 <p>Don&#8217;t prompt before each invocation of the merge resolution
533 program.
534 This is the default if the merge resolution program is
535 explicitly specified with the <code>--tool</code> option or with the
536 <code>merge.tool</code> configuration variable.</p>
537 </dd>
538 <dt class="hdlist1">--prompt</dt>
539 <dd>
540 <p>Prompt before each invocation of the merge resolution program
541 to give the user a chance to skip the path.</p>
542 </dd>
543 <dt class="hdlist1">-g</dt>
544 <dt class="hdlist1">--gui</dt>
545 <dd>
546 <p>When <em>git-mergetool</em> is invoked with the <code>-g</code> or <code>--gui</code> option,
547 the default merge tool will be read from the configured
548 <code>merge.guitool</code> variable instead of <code>merge.tool</code>. If
549 <code>merge.guitool</code> is not set, we will fallback to the tool
550 configured under <code>merge.tool</code>. This may be autoselected using
551 the configuration variable <code>mergetool.guiDefault</code>.</p>
552 </dd>
553 <dt class="hdlist1">--no-gui</dt>
554 <dd>
555 <p>This overrides a previous <code>-g</code> or <code>--gui</code> setting or
556 <code>mergetool.guiDefault</code> configuration and reads the default merge
557 tool from the configured <code>merge.tool</code> variable.</p>
558 </dd>
559 <dt class="hdlist1">-O&lt;orderfile&gt;</dt>
560 <dd>
561 <p>Process files in the order specified in the
562 &lt;orderfile&gt;, which has one shell glob pattern per line.
563 This overrides the <code>diff.orderFile</code> configuration variable
564 (see <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>). To cancel <code>diff.orderFile</code>,
565 use <code>-O/dev/null</code>.</p>

606 <p>For a custom merge command, specify whether the exit code of
607 the merge command can be used to determine whether the merge was
608 successful. If this is not set to true then the merge target file
609 timestamp is checked, and the merge is assumed to have been successful

614 <dd>
615 <p>Older versions of <code>meld</code> do not support the <code>--output</code> option.
616 Git will attempt to detect whether <code>meld</code> supports <code>--output</code>
617 by inspecting the output of <code>meld</code> <code>--help</code>. Configuring
618 <code>mergetool.meld.hasOutput</code> will make Git skip these checks and
619 use the configured value instead. Setting <code>mergetool.meld.hasOutput</code>
620 to <code>true</code> tells Git to unconditionally use the <code>--output</code> option,
621 and <code>false</code> avoids using <code>--output</code>.</p>

624 <dd>
625 <p>When the <code>--auto-merge</code> is given, meld will merge all non-conflicting
626 parts automatically, highlight the conflicting parts, and wait for
627 user decision. Setting <code>mergetool.meld.useAutoMerge</code> to <code>true</code> tells
628 Git to unconditionally use the <code>--auto-merge</code> option with <code>meld</code>.
629 Setting this value to <code>auto</code> makes git detect whether <code>--auto-merge</code>
630 is supported and will only use <code>--auto-merge</code> when available. A
631 value of <code>false</code> avoids using <code>--auto-merge</code> altogether, and is the
632 default value.</p>

639 if <code>merge.tool</code> is configured as <em>&lt;variant&gt;</em>), Git will consult
640 <code>mergetool.</code><em>&lt;variant&gt;</em><code>.layout</code> to determine the tool&#8217;s layout. If the
641 variant-specific configuration is not available, <code>vimdiff</code>'s is used as
642 fallback. If that too is not available, a default layout with 4 windows
643 will be used. To configure the layout, see the <code>BACKEND</code> <code>SPECIFIC</code> <code>HINTS</code>

646 <dt class="hdlist1">mergetool.hideResolved</dt>

648 <p>During a merge, Git will automatically resolve as many conflicts as
649 possible and write the <em>MERGED</em> file containing conflict markers around
650 any conflicts that it cannot resolve; <em>LOCAL</em> and <em>REMOTE</em> normally
651 represent the versions of the file from before Git&#8217;s conflict
652 resolution. This flag causes <em>LOCAL</em> and <em>REMOTE</em> to be overwritten so
653 that only the unresolved conflicts are presented to the merge tool. Can
654 be configured per-tool via the <code>mergetool.</code><em>&lt;tool&gt;</em><code>.hideResolved</code>

659 <p>After performing a merge, the original file with conflict markers

666 <p>When invoking a custom merge tool, Git uses a set of temporary

674 <p>Git writes temporary <em>BASE</em>, <em>LOCAL</em>, and <em>REMOTE</em> versions of
