git-mergetool{litdd}lib(1)
==========================
NAME
----
git-mergetool--lib - Common git merge tool shell scriptlets
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'TOOL_MODE=(diff|merge) . "$(git --exec-path)/git-mergetool{litdd}lib"'
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever.
This documentation is meant for people who are studying the
Porcelain-ish scripts and/or are writing new ones.
The 'git-mergetool{litdd}lib' scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using
`.`) by other shell scripts to set up functions for working
with git merge tools.
Before sourcing 'git-mergetool{litdd}lib', your script must set `TOOL_MODE`
to define the operation mode for the functions listed below.
'diff' and 'merge' are valid values.
FUNCTIONS
---------
get_merge_tool::
returns a merge tool.
get_merge_tool_cmd::
returns the custom command for a merge tool.
get_merge_tool_path::
returns the custom path for a merge tool.
run_merge_tool::
launches a merge tool given the tool name and a true/false
flag to indicate whether a merge base is present.
'$MERGED', '$LOCAL', '$REMOTE', and '$BASE' must be defined
for use by the merge tool.
