NAME
----
git-mergetool - Run merge conflict resolution tools to resolve merge conflicts

SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-mergetool' [--tool=<tool>] [<file>]...

DESCRIPTION
-----------

Use `git mergetool` to run one of several merge utilities to resolve
merge conflicts.  It is typically run after linkgit:git-merge[1].

If one or more <file> parameters are given, the merge tool program will
be run to resolve differences on each file.  If no <file> names are
specified, `git mergetool` will run the merge tool program on every file
with merge conflicts.

OPTIONS
-------
-t or --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 mergetool`
will use the configuration variable `merge.tool`.  If the
configuration variable `merge.tool` is not set, `git mergetool`
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 mergetool` assumes the
tool is available in PATH.
