How to configure Git merge tool
Thursday, December 11, 2025
Setting up a visual merge tool makes resolving Git conflicts significantly easier by providing a clear three-way comparison interface.
As the creator of CoreUI with over 25 years of development experience, I’ve resolved countless merge conflicts across numerous projects.
The most effective solution is to configure Git to use your preferred visual merge tool using git config merge.tool.
This setup streamlines conflict resolution and reduces errors during merges.
