I am aware of the git config
option difftool.prompt true
However, I am wondering if there is a way to stop diffing when return code is non-zero. I am using vim
as diff-tool and if I exit using :cq
it will return non-zero but the default settings of git
do not stop diffing the remaining files when it gets non-zero return code.
I guess this makes sense since some tools will return non-zero code when files differ and most people will not want to stop at this point, however, in my case it will return non-zero only if I vim
encounter an error or if I asked it to do and in these cases I will always want git diff-tool
to stop.
So is there a way to change the default setting to stop when received a non-zero return code?
Once:
git difftool --trust-exit-code
Permanet:
git config difftool.trustExitCode true
