history
Project history and usage
Mergiraf is a syntax-aware merge driver for Git created by Antonin Delpeuch after exploring the limitations of line-based merge conflict resolution and earlier structured-merge prototypes. The project positions itself as a practical merge driver for daily version-control workflows: Git still performs ordinary line-based merges where they succeed, while Mergiraf uses syntax trees and language-specific knowledge when a line-based conflict can be resolved structurally.
Project history
The tool integrates through Git's custom merge-driver mechanism and can also be run after a conflict with `mergiraf solve`. Its documentation emphasizes conservative behavior: unresolved or suspicious cases keep conflict markers, while automatically solved cases can be reviewed with `mergiraf review` and reported with `mergiraf report`. It also supports Jujutsu workflows through `jj resolve --tool mergiraf`.
How it is used
Mergiraf's ecosystem role is adjacent to tools like Difftastic: it applies tree awareness to version-control conflicts rather than only to human-readable diffs. Its supported-language list spans common programming languages such as C/C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, Python, Rust, TypeScript, and structured formats such as JSON, TOML, YAML, XML, `go.mod`, and requirements files. Package managers distribute it as a developer-tool CLI that teams can opt into globally or per repository through Git attributes.
