I just always close it when I am done, and then reopen it when I want to review my changes/commits again.

#GIT CONFIG P4MERGE UPDATE#

My only problem is refreshing-when dealing with large repositories, Atom can be slow to update the changes you made outside of it. I also recommend using the Project Manager as a very convenient way to navigate between projects without filling the tree view.You can start it from the command line and pass in a single file to open, or add a project folder (git repo). Clean user interface, very straightforward, and highly customizable. I don't even use it as an editor or IDE anymore, just to use git.

#GIT CONFIG P4MERGE CODE#

You can edit the code directly, or use the button to use any version of the code snippet you want. Personally, I find that Atom is a good tool for visualizing differences and conflict resolution/merging.Īs for merging, there are no three views, but they are all merged into one, with each version highlighted in color. I have tried many of the tools mentioned here, but none of them are what I am looking for. Opendiff(Part of Xcode Tools on macOS), a command line utility that launches the FileMerge application from the terminal to compare files or directories graphically, including merging. Once you learn vim (and you should IMHO), vimdiff is just a more beautiful little orthogonal concept to learn. PS: If one day the tool supports 5 view merging, this is really great, because if you choose to submit in Git, you really don't have one basis but two. This makes it more difficult to merge in complex situations. The merge view (see screenshot ) has only 3 panes, just like SourceGear Diff/Merge. Therefore, you can use simpler historical differences on all files. Meld is an updated free tool, I prefer SourceGear Diff/Merge : now it is also available on most platforms (Windows/Linux/Mac), withthe unique advantage ofnative support for some source code control (such as Git ). Check the merge screen shot, you will find that it has at least 3 views. SourceGear Diff/Merge may be my second choice of free tools.

Perforce tries to make tools without customers a bit difficult. You cannot edit the file manually, and you cannot align it manually. My main dissatisfaction with the tool is its 'read-only' interface.

Perforce Visual Client ( P4V ) is a free tool that provides the clearest merge interface (see some screenshots ).

#GIT CONFIG P4MERGE MANUAL#

It has many functions, such as advanced rules, versions, manual alignment. It integrates many source code controls and can run on Windows/Linux. Its visual effect is not as good asP4V, but more than WinDiff. The advantage of merging is that it allows you to see all 4 views: base, left, right and merged result.

#GIT CONFIG P4MERGE PRO#

You can configure your merge tool to work with 'īeyond comparison 3, my favorite,there is a merge functionin the Pro version. If you are just looking for a difference beyond comparison tool, it would be wonderful: http : //#7th floor

Windows : 'The recommended Meld for Windows version is the latest version, available from in the form of MSI'.

All the diff functions you expect (Diff, Merge, Folder Diff).

Cross-platform (Windows, OS X and Linux).

My favorite visual merge tool is SourceGear DiffMerge

Highlight differences in overlapping images.

Compare JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMP and other file formats.

Organize modified assets in a familiar file/folder hierarchy.

Exclude modified, unique or unchanged files.

Show line numbers when comparing and merging files.

Use command line parameters and launch from a non-Perforce application.

Identify the line ending conventions of Windows (CRLF), Mac (CR) and Unix (LF).

Choose to include or ignore line endings or spaces.

Highlight and edit text file differences.

Resolve conflicts caused by parallel or concurrent development through color coding. Use P4Merge to visualize the differences between file versions. There are some errors when using large commit sets, but it is great for browsing changes and selecting different changes to segment and submit.

#GIT CONFIG P4MERGE HOW TO#

(I still haven't figured out how to start kdiff3 in this way, it won't give me an error.) In addition, the instructions for calling the tool are great. What is the best tool for viewing and editing merges in Git ? I want to get a 3-way merged view with 'my', 'their' and 'ancestors' in separate panels, and a fourth 'output' panel.
