#!/bin/sh
# git-difftool-helper is a GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF-compatible diff tool launcher.
# It supports kdiff3, tkdiff, xxdiff, meld, opendiff, emerge, ecmerge,
# vimdiff, gvimdiff, and custom user-configurable tools.
# This script is typically launched by using the 'git difftool'
# convenience command.
