#### A syntax-aware git merge driver

Mergiraf can solve [a wide range of Git merge conflicts](<https://mergiraf.org/conflicts.html>). That's because it's aware of the trees in your files!

Thanks to [its understanding of your language](<https://mergiraf.org/languages.html>), it can often reconcile the needs of both sides.

You can [teach Mergiraf a new language](<https://mergiraf.org/adding-a-language.html>) in a completely declarative way. It's a nonviolent animal, so it prefers that over imperatives.
