contrib: add 'git difftool' for launching common merge tools
'git difftool' is a git command that allows you to compare and edit files between revisions using common merge tools. 'git difftool' does what 'git mergetool' does but its use is for non-merge situations such as when preparing commits or comparing changes against the index. It uses the same configuration variables as 'git mergetool' and provides the same command-line interface as 'git diff'.

|
||||
NAME
|
||||
----
|
||||
git-difftool - compare changes using common merge tools
|
||||
|
||||
SYNOPSIS
|
||||
--------
|
||||
'git difftool' [--tool=<tool>] [--no-prompt] ['git diff' options]
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
'git difftool' is a git command that allows you to compare and edit files
|
||||
between revisions using common merge tools. At its most basic level,
|
||||
'git difftool' does what 'git mergetool' does but its use is for non-merge
|
||||
situations such as when preparing commits or comparing changes against
|
||||
the index.
|
||||
|
||||
'git difftool' is a frontend to 'git diff' and accepts the same
|
||||
arguments and options.
|
||||
|
||||
See linkgit:git-diff[7] for the full list of supported options.
|
||||
|
||||
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, and opendiff
|
||||
+
|
||||
If a merge resolution program is not specified, 'git difftool'
|
||||
will use the configuration variable `merge.tool`. If the
|
||||
configuration variable `merge.tool` is not set, 'git difftool'
|
||||
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 difftool' assumes the
|
||||
tool is available in PATH.
|
||||
+
|
||||
Instead of running one of the known merge tool programs,
|
||||
'git difftool' can be customized to run an alternative program
|
||||
by specifying the command line to invoke in a configuration
|
||||
variable `mergetool.<tool>.cmd`.
|
||||
+
|
||||
When 'git difftool' 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 the following
|
||||
variables available: `$LOCAL` is set to the name of the temporary
|
||||
file containing the contents of the diff pre-image and `$REMOTE`
|
||||
is set to the name of the temporary file containing the contents
|
||||
of the diff post-image. `$BASE` is provided for compatibility
|
||||
with custom merge tool commands and has the same value as `$LOCAL`.
|
||||
|
||||
--no-prompt::
|
||||
Do not prompt before launching a merge tool.
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG VARIABLES
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
merge.tool::
|
||||
The default merge tool to use.
|
||||
+
|
||||
See the `--tool=<tool>` option above for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
merge.keepBackup::
|
||||
The original, unedited file content can be saved to a file with
|
||||
a `.orig` extension. Defaults to `true` (i.e. keep the backup files).
|
||||
|
||||
mergetool.<tool>.path::
|
||||
Override the path for the given tool. This is useful in case
|
||||
your tool is not in the PATH.
|
||||
|
||||
mergetool.<tool>.cmd::
|
||||
Specify the command to invoke the specified merge tool.
|
||||
+
|
||||
See the `--tool=<tool>` option above for more details.
|
||||

||||

||||
