gitdiffdifftool

Why does "git difftool" not open the tool directly?

I configured git like this:

git config --global diff.tool meld

When I run: 

git difftool

I get the following message:

Viewing: 'hello.txt'
Hit return to launch 'meld':

Then, if I press Enter, meld will launch.

How can I disable this message, so that meld will be launched straight away after typing git difftool?

Solution 
  • man git-difftool

OPTIONS
   -y, --no-prompt
       Do not prompt before launching a diff tool.
