mergetool

I prefer to use meld as the diff tool. However it doesn't have an option to quickly solve all simple conflicts so in case of merging I'd like to use kdiff3 I've set merge.tool to kdiff3 and diff.guitool to meld but git difftool still always run kdiff3 [merge] tool = kdiff3 conflictstyle = diff3 [diff] guitool = meld renames = copies mnemonicPrefix = true [difftool] prompt = false How to make git difftool run meld ? diff.guitool only applies if you use the --gui flag . Setting diff.tool and merge.tool should make git difftool and git mergetool use different tools: [merge] tool = kdiff3 [diff]

In Mercurial, one can define a pattern for external diff and merge tools (so that they are called only for files matching the pattern specified): [diff-patterns] **.ext = difftool [merge-patterns] **.ext = mergetool How to define such patterns in Git? [mergetool] section in git-config(1) does not mention any pattern, mask or anyting similar. EDIT : Here is a relevant part of my .git/config: [diff] tool = difftool [difftool "difftool"] cmd = difftool.git.sh "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$BASE" [merge] tool = mergetool [mergetool "mergetool"] cmd = mergetool.git.sh "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$BASE" "$MERGED" Now

I downloaded GitKraken for working with Git repositories and it works great for everything I need, but I haven't been able to configure it to use a merge tool like WinMerge or Meld. When the program sees a conflict it shows up a button which says "Open in merge tool". Since I haven't configured a Merge tool, I head over GitKraken's preferences and checked out the "Merge tool" section. "Git Config Default" option was selected there and I could only choose "None" or "Git Config Default" options. I installed Meld for using it with GitKraken, and after that I tried to follow these steps to make it

Is it possible to use Meld as a merge tool when using Git Extensions on Windows? Tomasz Maj In Git Extension: Settings -> Git Config Merge tool: meld Path to mergetool: C:/Program Files (x86)/Meld/Meld.exe Merge tool command: "C:/Program Files (x86)/Meld/Meld.exe" --diff "$BASE" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" --output "$MERGED" Yes it is, in response to this issue . Like Thomas, the accepted answer didn't quite work for me. The merged file was not saved after meld was closed. However, Thomas's answer didn't work for me either. While the file did save, it opened in Meld with the merged markup. Instead, I'm

Today I was trying to use the git mergetool on Windows Command Prompt and realized that it was defaulting to use VIM , which is cool, but I'd prefer VSCode . How can I have Visual Studio Code function as my GUI for handling merge conflicts (or even as a diffing tool) for Git? As of VSCode 1.13 Better Merge was integrated into the core of VSCode. The way to wire them together is to modify your .gitconfig and you have two options . To do this with command line entries, enter each of these: (Note: replace " with ' on Windows Git Bash as clarified by Iztok Delfin and e4rache) git config --global

I committed some changes in the branch new . I checkout out to master . When I tried to merge: $ git merge new Auto-merging js/site.js CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in js/site.js Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result. So I installed kdiff3 and configured my config files and when I tried to use mergetools I got: $ git mergetool kdiff3 No files need merging I ran a diff and it outputted this: diff --cc js/site.js index 8c17d62,7955b13..0000000 --- a/js/site.js +++ b/js/site.js @@@ -72,4 -81,18 +81,22 @@@ function doSmallScreen() $(document).ready(function () {

How could I force the mergetool GUI to be always shown and disable any automatic resolving? Sometimes when there is a conflict during a merge and I use the mergetool, it simply immediately returns after I hit Enter on question "Hit return to start merge resolution tool (kdiff3)" and no GUI is shown and the conflict appears to be resolved. I have Git configured to use KDiff3 as the mergetool now, but it happened also when I have codecompare as the mergetool specified. I know that there is an option "Auto save and quit on merge without conflicts" in KDiff3, which could theoretically cause the

I just merged a branch into my master in git and I got Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result. Now I ran git mergetool and vimdiff opened with the image below. I don't know how to use vimdiff. What does each panel here mean and how should I proceed to fix the merge conflict? chepner All four buffers provide a different view of the same file. The top left buffer (LOCAL) is how the file looked in your target branch (what you are merging into). The top right buffer (REMOTE) is how the file looked in your source branch (where you are merging from). The middle buffer (BASE
