1git-merge-tree(1) 2================= 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-merge-tree - Show three-way merge without touching index 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11[verse] 12'git merge-tree' <base-tree> <branch1> <branch2> 13 14DESCRIPTION 15----------- 16Reads three tree-ish, and output trivial merge results and 17conflicting stages to the standard output. This is similar to 18what three-way 'git read-tree -m' does, but instead of storing the 19results in the index, the command outputs the entries to the 20standard output. 21 22This is meant to be used by higher level scripts to compute 23merge results outside of the index, and stuff the results back into the 24index. For this reason, the output from the command omits 25entries that match the <branch1> tree. 26 27GIT 28--- 29Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
