NAME
       git-mergetoollib - Common Git merge tool shell scriptlets

SYNOPSIS
       TOOLMODE=(diff|merge) . "$(git exec-path)/git-mergetoollib"


DESCRIPTION
       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-mergetoollib scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using .) by
       other shell scripts to set up functions for working with Git merge
       tools.

       Before sourcing git-mergetoollib, your script must set TOOLMODE to
       define the operation mode for the functions listed below. diff and
       merge are valid values.

FUNCTIONS
       getmergetool
           returns a merge tool.

       getmergetoolcmd
           returns the custom command for a merge tool.

       getmergetoolpath
           returns the custom path for a merge tool.

       runmergetool
           launches a merge tool given the tool name and a true/false flag to
           indicate whether a merge base is present.  $MERGED, $LOCAL,
           $REMOTE, and $BASE must be defined for use by the merge tool.
