I think most people would benefit from trying both an internal and an external merge tool. I was also considering mentioning `kdiff3` or `diffedit3` more heavily. For `kdiff3`, I find its diff editing interface very confusing and I don't know of anybody who happily uses it as a diff editor. For `diffedit3`, I'm not very objective.

@ -578,6 +578,15 @@ you can set the option to change the default. This requires that you have an
|
|||
appropriate tool installed, e.g. [Meld](https://meldmerge.org/) to use the
|
||||
`meld` diff editor.
|
||||
|
||||
**Suggestion:** If possible, it is recommended to try an external diff tool like
|
||||
`meld` (see below for some other possibilities) for splitting commits and other
|
||||
diff editing, in addition to the built-in diff editor. It is good to know the
|
||||
capabilities of both. The built-in diff editor does not require external tools
|
||||
to be available, is faster for tasks like picking hunks, and does not require
|
||||
leaving the terminal. External tools give you the flexibility of picking out
|
||||
portions of lines from the diff or even arbitrarily editing the text of the
|
||||
files.
|
||||
|
||||
If `ui.diff-editor` is a string, e.g. `"meld"`, the arguments will be read from
|
||||
the following config keys.
