git diff and merge tool

If I ever used something for my merge/diff tool for git I would use either meld or diff-so-fancy but doing it in vim seems awesome as well:

Vim can be used as a mergetool to handle git merge conflict.

First, setup Vim as a mergetool in your gitconfig. Then, during a merge conflict, run:

git mergetool

You can then use Vim to pick which change(s) to apply to the working copy.

To setup Vim as a mergetool in my gitconfig, I added these in my ~/.gitconfig (your gitconfig may be in a different location):

[core]
  editor = vim
[merge]
  tool = vimdiff
  conflictstyle = diff3
[difftool]
  prompt = false

Useful commands.
