merge-info¶

vb merge-info [OPTIONS]

Description¶

Options¶

-a, --all¶: Show all file changes that happened because of the merge. Normally only MERGE, CONFLICT, and ERROR lines are shown

-c, --context N¶: Show N lines of context around each change, with negative N meaning show all content. Only meaningful in combination with --tcl or --tk.

--dark¶: Use dark mode for the Tcl/Tk-based GUI

--tk¶: Bring up a Tcl/Tk GUI that shows the changes associated with the most recent merge.

Internally –tk options¶

Options used internally by --tk.

--diff23 FILE¶: Like --diff12 but for local versus merge-in

--tcl FILE¶: Generate (to stdout) a TCL list containing information needed to display the changes to FILE caused by the most recent merge. FILE must be a pathname relative to the root of the check-out.

Debugging options¶

Debugging options available only when --tk is used.

--tkdebug¶: Show sub-commands run to implement --tk

--script FILE¶: Write script used to implement --tk into FILEE
