6 git-mergetool - Run merge conflict resolution tools to resolve merge conflicts
10 'git-mergetool' [--tool=<tool>] [<file>]...
15 Use `git mergetool` to run one of several merge utilities to resolve
16 merge conflicts. It is typically run after linkgit:git-merge[1].
18 If one or more <file> parameters are given, the merge tool program will
19 be run to resolve differences on each file. If no <file> names are
20 specified, `git mergetool` will run the merge tool program on every file
26 Use the merge resolution program specified by <tool>.
27 Valid merge tools are:
28 kdiff3, tkdiff, meld, xxdiff, emerge, vimdiff, gvimdiff, ecmerge, and opendiff
30 If a merge resolution program is not specified, `git mergetool`
31 will use the configuration variable `merge.tool`. If the
32 configuration variable `merge.tool` is not set, `git mergetool`
33 will pick a suitable default.
35 You can explicitly provide a full path to the tool by setting the
36 configuration variable `mergetool.<tool>.path`. For example, you
37 can configure the absolute path to kdiff3 by setting
38 `mergetool.kdiff3.path`. Otherwise, `git mergetool` assumes the
39 tool is available in PATH.
