'git difftool' is a frontend -to 'git diff' and accepts the same options and arguments. See -linkgit:git-diff[1]. - -OPTIONS -------- --d:: ---dir-diff:: - Copy the modified files to a temporary location and perform - a directory diff on them. This mode never prompts before - launching the diff tool. - --y:: ---no-prompt:: - Do not prompt before launching a diff tool. - ---prompt:: - Prompt before each invocation of the diff tool. - This is the default behaviour; the option is provided to - override any configuration settings. - --t <tool>:: ---tool=<tool>:: - Use the diff tool specified by <tool>. Valid values include - emerge, kompare, meld, and vimdiff. Run `git difftool --tool-help` - for the list of valid <tool> settings. -+ -If a diff tool 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 diff tools, -'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. `$MERGED` is the name of the file which is -being compared. `$BASE` is provided for compatibility -with custom merge tool commands and has the same value as `$MERGED`. - ---tool-help:: - Print a list of diff tools that may be used with `--tool`. - ---[no-]symlinks:: - 'git difftool''s default behavior is create symlinks to the - working tree when run in `--dir-diff` mode and the right-hand - side of the comparison yields the same content as the file in - the working tree. -+ -Specifying `--no-symlinks` instructs 'git difftool' to create copies -instead. `--no-symlinks` is the default on Windows. - --x <command>:: ---extcmd=<command>:: - Specify a custom command for viewing diffs. - 'git-difftool' ignores the configured defaults and runs - `$command $LOCAL $REMOTE` when this option is specified. - Additionally, `$BASE` is set in the environment. - --g:: ---[no-]gui:: - When 'git-difftool' is invoked with the `-g` or `--gui` option - the default diff tool will be read from the configured - `diff.guitool` variable instead of `diff.tool`. The `--no-gui` - option can be used to override this setting. If `diff.guitool` - is not set, we will fallback in the order of `merge.guitool`, - `diff.tool`, `merge.tool` until a tool is found. - ---[no-]trust-exit-code:: - 'git-difftool' invokes a diff tool individually on each file. - Errors reported by the diff tool are ignored by default. - Use `--trust-exit-code` to make 'git-difftool' exit when an - invoked diff tool returns a non-zero exit code. -+ -'git-difftool' will forward the exit code of the invoked tool when -`--trust-exit-code` is used. - -See linkgit:git-diff[1] for the full list of supported options. - -CONFIG VARIABLES ----------------- -'git difftool' falls back to 'git mergetool' config variables when the -difftool equivalents have not been defined. - -diff.tool:: - The default diff tool to use. - -diff.guitool:: - The default diff tool to use when `--gui` is specified. - -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 diff tool. -+ -See the `--tool=<tool>` option above for more details. - -difftool.prompt:: - Prompt before each invocation of the diff tool. - -difftool.trustExitCode:: - Exit difftool if the invoked diff tool returns a non-zero exit status. -+ -See the `--trust-exit-code` option above for more details. - -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 - -GIT ---- -Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
