Why does “git difftool” not open the tool directly?

问题

I configured git like this:

git config --global diff.tool meld

When I run:

git difftool

I get the following message:

Viewing: 'hello.txt'
Hit return to launch 'meld': 

Then, if I press Enter, meld will launch.

How can I disable this message, so that meld will be launched straight away after typing git difftool?

回答1:

man git-difftool

OPTIONS
   -y, --no-prompt
       Do not prompt before launching a diff tool.

回答2:

There's also an option:

difftool.prompt
  Prompt before each invocation of the diff tool.

The following command turns off the prompt globally (for all repos):

git config --global difftool.prompt false

It's like writing (in ~/.gitconfig or %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\.gitconfig)

[difftool]
  prompt = false
