2019-05-13mergetool: use get_merge_tool functionLibravatar Denton Liu1-1/+1
In git-mergetool, the logic for getting which merge tool to use is duplicated in git-mergetool--lib, except for the fact that it needs to know whether the tool was guessed or not. Rewrite `get_merge_tool` to return whether or not the tool was guessed through the return code and make git-mergetool call this function instead of duplicating the logic. Note that 1 was chosen to be the return code of when a tool is guessed because it seems like a slightly more abnormal condition than getting a tool that's explicitly specified but this is completely arbitrary. Also, let `$GIT_MERGETOOL_GUI` be set to determine whether or not the guitool will be selected. This change is not completely backwards compatible as there may be external users of git-mergetool--lib. However, only one user, git-diffall[1], was found from searching GitHub and Google, and this tool is superseded by `git difftool --dir-diff` anyway. It seems very unlikely that there exists an external caller that would take into account the return code of `get_merge_tool` as it would always return 0 before this change so this change probably does not affect any external users.

2016-08-15difftool: always honor fatal error exit codesLibravatar John Keeping1-0/+7
At the moment difftool's "trust exit code" logic always suppresses the exit status of the diff utility we invoke. This is useful because we don't want to exit just because diff returned "1" because the files differ, but it's confusing if the shell returns an error because the selected diff utility is not found. POSIX specifies 127 as the exit status for "command not found", 126 for "command found but is not executable" and values greater than 128 if the command terminated because it received a signal [1] and at least bash and dash follow this specification, while diff utilities generally use "1" for the exit status we want to ignore. Handle any value of 126 or greater as a special value indicating that some form of fatal error occurred.

2016-04-25difftool/mergetool: make the form of yes/no questions consistentLibravatar Nikola Forró1-2/+2
Every yes/no question in difftool/mergetool scripts has slightly different form, and none of them is consistent with the form git itself uses. Make the form of all the questions consistent with the form used by git.

2014-11-21difftool--helper: add explicit exit statementLibravatar David Aguilar1-0/+2
git-difftool--helper returns a zero exit status unless --trust-exit-code is in effect. Add an explicit exit statement to make this clearer. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-10-28difftool: add support for --trust-exit-codeLibravatar David Aguilar1-0/+6
Teach difftool to exit when a diff tool returns a non-zero exit code when either --trust-exit-code is specified or difftool.trustExitCode is true. Forward exit codes from invoked diff tools to the caller when --trust-exit-code is used.

2014-10-27difftool--helper: exit when reading a prompt answer failsLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-1/+2
An attempt to quit difftool by hitting Ctrl-D (EOF) at its prompt does not quit it, but is treated as if 'yes' was answered to the prompt and all following prompts, which is contrary to the user's intent. Fix the error check. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-12-06difftool: display the number of files in the diff queue in the promptLibravatar Zoltan Klinger1-1/+2
When --prompt option is set, git-difftool displays a prompt for each modified file to be viewed in an external diff program. At that point, it could be useful to display a counter and the total number of files in the diff queue. Below is the current difftool prompt for the first of 5 modified files: Viewing: 'diff.c' Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]: Consider the modified prompt: Viewing (1/5): 'diff.c' Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]: The current GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF mechanism does not tell the number of paths in the diff queue nor the current counter. To make this "counter/total" info available for GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF programs without breaking existing ones by doing the following: - Keep track of the number of paths shown so far in diff_options; - Export two new environment variables from run_external_diff() to show the total number of paths (from diff_queue_struct) and the current value of the counter (from diff_options); and - Update git-difftool--helper to use these two environment variables.

2012-04-23difftool: teach difftool to handle directory diffsLibravatar Tim Henigan1-6/+13
When 'difftool' is called to compare a range of commits that modify more than one file, it opens a separate instance of the diff tool for each file that changed. The new '--dir-diff' option copies all the modified files to a temporary location and runs a directory diff on them in a single instance of the diff tool.

2011-10-10git-difftool: allow skipping file by typing 'n' at promptLibravatar Sitaram Chamarty1-3/+6
This is useful if you forgot to restrict the diff to the paths you want to see, or selecting precisely the ones you want is too much typing.

2010-12-16difftool: provide basename to external toolsLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-0/+1
Currently, only configured diff helpers get the basename of the file being compared. Tools specified with "git difftool -x" only get the names of temporary files for the different versions. Export BASE so that an external tool can read the name from the environment. Rather than using a third argument, this avoids breaking existing scripts which may somewhat carelessly be using "$@" rather than "$1" "$2".

2010-01-22Make difftool.prompt fall back to mergetool.promptLibravatar Sebastian Schuberth1-1/+2

2010-01-09difftool: Allow specifying unconfigured commands with --extcmdLibravatar David Aguilar1-7/+23
git-difftool requires difftool.<tool>.cmd configuration even when tools use the standard "$diffcmd $from $to" form. This teaches git-difftool to run these tools in lieu of configuration by allowing the command to be specified on the command line.

2010-01-09difftool--helper: Remove use of the GIT_MERGE_TOOL variableLibravatar David Aguilar1-5/+4
An undocumented mis-feature in git-difftool is that it allows you to specify a default difftool by setting GIT_MERGE_TOOL. This behavior was never documented and was included as an oversight back when git-difftool was maintained outside of git. git-mergetool never honored GIT_MERGE_TOOL so neither should git-difftool.

2009-04-12mergetool--lib: simplify API usage by removing more global variablesLibravatar David Aguilar1-3/+3
The mergetool--lib scriplet was tricky to use because it relied upon the existance of several global shell variables. This removes more global variables so that things are simpler for callers. A side effect is that some variables are recomputed each time run_merge_tool() is called, but the overhead for recomputing them is justified by the simpler implementation.
