I can exactly put my finger on it but something feels wrong about this. Maybe wrong is not the right word. It is more like working the system. I have known about the practice for years.

I saw how to do this on but the information was out of date. Download and install diffmerge. I used this link: DiffMerge . Verify you can run it from the command line: Run the following commands from the git command line git config --global diff.tool diffmerge git config --global difftool.diffmerge.cmd 'sgdm "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE"' git config --global merge.tool diffmerge git config --global mergetool.diffmerge.cmd 'sgdm --merge --result="$MERGED" "$LOCAL" "$(if test -f "$BASE"; then echo "$BASE"; else echo "$LOCAL"; fi)" "$REMOTE"' git config --global mergetool.diffmerge.trustExitCode true Now use the standard git commands for launching diffs and merges git difftool filename.ext git difftool branchname filename.ext git mergetool Note: I had to perform these steps twice.
