What mergers is

mergers is a free desktop tool for comparing and merging files and directories on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It provides two-way file comparisons with syntax highlighting and three-way merging for resolving conflicts. Directory comparisons scan recursively and run asynchronously. It can display uncommitted Git changes and be configured as Git’s merge tool. For patch work, it opens and interactively applies .patch and .diff files, shows failed sections with conflict markers, and exports unified diffs. Editing features include inline word-level highlighting, find and replace, undo and redo, chunk navigation, and synchronized scrolling. File watching can reload changed files automatically; folder filters and directory copy and delete operations are also available. Install options are described for macOS, Linux, and Windows, while building from source requires GTK4 and GtkSourceView 5 development libraries. The project uses the GPL-2.0 license. Its maintainers warn that the software is alpha-quality and could damage files, corrupt data, or discard changes without warning; they advise keeping backups and using version control.
