About Sublime Merge
Sublime Merge is a Git GUI for Windows, Mac and Linux from the makers of Sublime Text. It stages files, hunks or individual lines, lets you split hunks and edit commits, and uses a custom Git reading library to stay responsive on large repositories.
Diffs are shown side by side with character-level changes and Sublime Text syntax highlighting for over 40 languages. It includes instant search by message, author, path and contents, plus a built-in three-way merge tool for resolving conflicts.
