The merge aspect allows the differences to be reconciled and merged back into a single file. This is usually required if two people have made changes to the same part of the same file. The difference and merge tool highlights differences between two versions of the same file. If you are tempted by the command line interface though, it will make life much easier.

Install it if you want - it won’t make any difference (ha!) to what we do, and I won’t be using it. I’ve included it only for completeness it finishes the Git installation properly (the command line stuff) and provides a much better tool for comparing the differences between files and allowing these files to be merged together in a sensible way if a conflict exists. This section is entirely optional we don’t need a difference and merge tool for Bracket-Git (we’ll use Brackets directly). It’s hard to keep up with the current version, there is a new release every couple of months - it never looks any different though, not sure what all the changes are? - I recommend you just use the latest.

It is very easy to get, just click download on the main page and then the big green download button on the download page (see Figure 3.11). I’m currently using version 7.5.7 (32 bit) for Windows. Notepad++ is available from the download page of the website. I recommend you install both Brackets and Notepad++ I’ve already covered the Brackets installation on a previous posting: getting and installing brackets (I cover the main points in appendix A). Unfortunately, we need to use the command line stuff to get everything set up (that’s what we’re doing now). I will just use Notepad++ when creating or editing files directly from the Git Bash command line (that thing you can see in Figure 3.10)-hopefully this won’t be too often, the whole point is to manage everything through Brackets and not have to bother with the command line stuff. I will still use Brackets for all the web development and I will also use it to manage Git and GitHub repositories.

My next favourite is atom but this also has problems with Git, It’s difficult to set up as the default editor: under Windows, Git won’t wait for Atom to close before continuing again this is a problem for what we want to do. The only problem is that it doesn’t play nicely with the Git Bash command line specifically it won’t create a new file from the command line which is a bit of a problem for Git †1. ℹ️About GitHub Wiki SEE, a search engine enabler for GitHub WikisĪs GitHub blocks most GitHub Wikis from search engines.I’m a big fan of Brackets I use it for all my web development stuff. Thanks and Happy Coding !! 🗂️ Page Index for this GitHub Wiki This is open P4Merge with all conflict details on the file. Now whenever there is a conflict in GIT repository type in GIT Bash

git config -global 'p4merge $BASE $LOCAL $REMOTE $MERGED'.

Right click on your git folder and choose GIT Bash I prefer P4Merge as it shows difference among LOCAL, BASE and REMOTE files, all together at once!! Setup P4Merge as default mergetool for GITĭownload and Install P4Merge from this link P4Merge Download.
