2 # git-difftool-helper is a GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF-compatible diff tool launcher.
3 # It supports kdiff3, tkdiff, xxdiff, meld, opendiff, emerge, ecmerge,
4 # vimdiff, gvimdiff, and custom user-configurable tools.
5 # This script is typically launched by using the 'git difftool'
6 # convenience command.
