+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, emerge, vimdiff, gvimdiff, ecmerge, and opendiff
++
+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.
++
+You can explicitly provide a full path to the tool by setting the
+configuration variable mergetool.<tool>.path. For example, you
+can configure the absolute path to kdiff3 by setting
+mergetool.kdiff3.path. Otherwise, 'git mergetool' assumes the tool
+is available in PATH.
