GIT-MERGE-TREE(1)                                     Git Manual                                    GIT-MERGE-TREE(1)



NAME
       git-merge-tree - Show three-way merge without touching index

SYNOPSIS
       git merge-tree <base-tree> <branch1> <branch2>


DESCRIPTION
       Reads three treeish, and output trivial merge results and conflicting stages to the standard output. This is
       similar to what three-way git read-tree -m does, but instead of storing the results in the index, the command
       outputs the entries to the standard output.

       This is meant to be used by higher level scripts to compute merge results outside of the index, and stuff the
       results back into the index. For this reason, the output from the command omits entries that match the
       <branch1> tree.
