+NAME
+----
+git-mergetool - Run merge conflict resolution tools to resolve merge conflicts
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-mergetool' [--tool=<tool>] [<file>]...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Use 'git mergetool' to run one of several merge utilities to resolve
+merge conflicts. It is typically run after gitlink:git-merge[1].
+
+If one or more <file> parameters are given, the merge tool program will
+be run to resolve differences on each file. If no <file> names are
+specified, 'git mergetool' will run the merge tool program on every file
+with merge conflicts.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-t or --tool=<tool>::
+ Use the merge resolution program specified by <tool>.
+ Valid merge tools are:
+ kdiff3, tkdiff, meld, xxdiff, and emerge.
+
+ If a merge resolution program is not specified, 'git mergetool'
+ will use the configuration variable merge.tool. If the
+ configuration variable merge.tool is not set, 'git mergetool'
+ will pick a suitable default.
