Apart from the list of "valid values", 'diff.tool' can take any value, provided there is a corresponding 'difftool.<tool>.cmd' option. Also, describe this option just before the 'difftool.*' options.

diff.autorefreshindex::
|
|
When using 'git diff' to compare with work tree
|
|
files, do not consider stat-only change as changed.
|
|
Instead, silently run `git update-index --refresh` to
|
|
update the cached stat information for paths whose
|
|
contents in the work tree match the contents in the
|
|
index. This option defaults to true. Note that this
|
|
affects only 'git diff' Porcelain, and not lower level
|
|
'diff' commands such as 'git diff-files'.
|
|
|
|
diff.external::
|
|
If this config variable is set, diff generation is not
|
|
performed using the internal diff machinery, but using the
|
|
given command. Can be overridden with the `GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF'
|
|
environment variable. The command is called with parameters
|
|
as described under "git Diffs" in linkgit:git[1]. Note: if
|
|
you want to use an external diff program only on a subset of
|
|
your files, you might want to use linkgit:gitattributes[5] instead.
|
|
|
|
diff.ignoreSubmodules::
|
|
Sets the default value of --ignore-submodules. Note that this
|
|
affects only 'git diff' Porcelain, and not lower level 'diff'
|
|
commands such as 'git diff-files'. 'git checkout' also honors
|
|
this setting when reporting uncommitted changes.
|
|
|
|
diff.mnemonicprefix::
|
|
If set, 'git diff' uses a prefix pair that is different from the
|
|
standard "a/" and "b/" depending on what is being compared. When
|
|
this configuration is in effect, reverse diff output also swaps
|
|
the order of the prefixes:
|
|
`git diff`;;
|
|
compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree;
|
|
`git diff HEAD`;;
|
|
compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree;
|
|
`git diff --cached`;;
|
|
compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex;
|
|
`git diff HEAD:file1 file2`;;
|
|
compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity;
|
|
`git diff --no-index a b`;;
|
|
compares two non-git things (1) and (2).
|
|
|
|
diff.noprefix::
|
|
If set, 'git diff' does not show any source or destination prefix.
|
|
|
|
diff.renameLimit::
|
|
The number of files to consider when performing the copy/rename
|
|
detection; equivalent to the 'git diff' option '-l'.
|
|
|
|
diff.renames::
|
|
Tells git to detect renames. If set to any boolean value, it
|
|
will enable basic rename detection. If set to "copies" or
|
|
"copy", it will detect copies, as well.
|
|
|
|
diff.suppressBlankEmpty::
|
|
A boolean to inhibit the standard behavior of printing a space
|
|
before each empty output line. Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
diff.<driver>.command::
|
|
The custom diff driver command. See linkgit:gitattributes[5]
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
diff.<driver>.xfuncname::
|
|
The regular expression that the diff driver should use to
|
|
recognize the hunk header. A built-in pattern may also be used.
|
|
See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
|
|
|
|
diff.<driver>.binary::
|
|
Set this option to true to make the diff driver treat files as
|
|
binary. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
|
|
|
|
diff.<driver>.textconv::
|
|
The command that the diff driver should call to generate the
|
|
text-converted version of a file. The result of the
|
|
conversion is used to generate a human-readable diff. See
|
|
linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
|
|
|
|
diff.<driver>.wordregex::
|
|
The regular expression that the diff driver should use to
|
|
split words in a line. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
diff.<driver>.cachetextconv::
|
|
Set this option to true to make the diff driver cache the text
|
|
conversion outputs. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
|
|
|
|
diff.tool::
|
|
The diff tool to be used by linkgit:git-difftool[1]. This
|
|
option overrides `merge.tool`, and has the same valid built-in
|
|
values as `merge.tool` minus "tortoisemerge" and plus
|
|
"kompare". Any other value is treated as a custom diff tool,
|
|
and there must be a corresponding `difftool.<tool>.cmd`
|
|
option.
