Git Difftool
May 5, 2021
I am so used to work with jetbrain tools that I seldom use git diff
and almost never configure and special diff tool.
Today I learned how to setup meld as diff tool,
I added this settings to my ~/.gitconfig
[diff]
tool = meld
[difftool]
prompt = false
[difftool "meld"]
cmd = meld "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE"
You can change the order of the diff panes by changing the meld command arguments
[difftool "meld"]
cmd = meld "$REMOTE" "$LOCAL" # remote changes will appear in the right pane, local in the left
