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[1] 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, kompare, tkdiff, meld, xxdiff, emerge, - vimdiff, gvimdiff, ecmerge, and opendiff -+ -If a merge resolution program is not specified, 'git-difftool' -will use the configuration variable `diff.tool`. If the -configuration variable `diff.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 `difftool.<tool>.path`. For example, you -can configure the absolute path to kdiff3 by setting -`difftool.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 `difftool.<tool>.cmd`. -+ -When 'git-difftool' is invoked with this tool (either through the -`-t` or `--tool` option or the `diff.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 diff tool. - -CONFIG VARIABLES ----------------- -'git-difftool' falls back to 'git-mergetool' config variables when the -difftool equivalents have not been defined. - -diff.tool:: - The default merge tool to use. - -difftool.<tool>.path:: - Override the path for the given tool. This is useful in case - your tool is not in the PATH. - -difftool.<tool>.cmd:: - Specify the command to invoke the specified merge tool. -+ -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). - -SEE ALSO --------- -linkgit:git-diff[1]:: - Show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc - -linkgit:git-mergetool[1]:: - Run merge conflict resolution tools to resolve merge conflicts - -linkgit:git-config[1]:: - Get and set repository or global options - - -AUTHOR ------- -Written by David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com>. - -Documentation --------------- -Documentation by David Aguilar and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. - -GIT ---- -Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
