NAME         top

       git-mergetool--lib - Common Git merge tool shell scriptlets

SYNOPSIS         top

       TOOL_MODE=(diff|merge) . "$(git --exec-path)/git-mergetool--lib"

DESCRIPTION         top

       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--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--lib, your script must set TOOL_MODE to
       define the operation mode for the functions listed below. diff and
       merge are valid values.
