NAME
----
git-difftool - Show changes using common diff tools

SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git difftool' [<options>] [<commit> [<commit>]] [--] [<path>...]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
'git difftool' is a Git command that allows you to compare and edit files
between revisions using common diff tools. '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.

--rotate-to=<file>::
Start showing the diff for the given path,
the paths before it will move to the end and output.

--skip-to=<file>::
Start showing the diff for the given path, skipping all
the paths before it.

-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 to 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`. This may be
selected automatically using the configuration variable
`difftool.guiDefault`. The `--no-gui` option can be used to
override these settings. 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::
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.

CONFIGURATION
-------------
'git difftool' falls back to 'git mergetool' config variables when the
difftool equivalents have not been defined.

Everything above this line in this section isn't included from the
linkgit:git-config[1] documentation. The content that follows is the
same as what's found there:


diff.tool::
Controls which diff tool is used by linkgit:git-difftool[1].
This variable overrides the value configured in `merge.tool`.
The list below shows the valid built-in values.
Any other value is treated as a custom diff tool and requires
that a corresponding difftool.<tool>.cmd variable is defined.

diff.guitool::
Controls which diff tool is used by linkgit:git-difftool[1] when
the -g/--gui flag is specified. This variable overrides the value
configured in `merge.guitool`. The list below shows the valid
built-in values. Any other value is treated as a custom diff tool
and requires that a corresponding difftool.<guitool>.cmd variable
is defined.

* araxis
* bc
* codecompare
* deltawalker
* diffmerge
* diffuse
* ecmerge
* emerge
* examdiff
* guiffy
* gvimdiff
* kdiff3
* kompare
* meld
* nvimdiff
* opendiff
* p4merge
* smerge
* tkdiff
* vimdiff
* vscode
* winmerge
* xxdiff


difftool.<tool>.cmd::
Specify the command to invoke the specified diff tool.
The specified command is evaluated in shell 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.
+
See the `--tool=<tool>` option in linkgit:git-difftool[1] for more details.

difftool.<tool>.path::
Override the path for the given tool. This is useful in case
your tool is not in the PATH.

difftool.trustExitCode::
Exit difftool if the invoked diff tool returns a non-zero exit status.
+
See the `--trust-exit-code` option in linkgit:git-difftool[1] for more details.

difftool.prompt::
Prompt before each invocation of the diff tool.

difftool.guiDefault::
Set `true` to use the `diff.guitool` by default (equivalent to specifying
the `--gui` argument), or `auto` to select `diff.guitool` or `diff.tool`
depending on the presence of a `DISPLAY` environment variable value. The
default is `false`, where the `--gui` argument must be provided
explicitly for the `diff.guitool` to be used.
