[$] Mergiraf: syntax-aware merging for Git

Friday October 31, 2025. 08:30 PM , from LWN.net
The idea of automatic syntax-aware merging in version-control systems goes back to

2005 or earlier, but initial implementations were
often language-specific and slow.

Mergiraf is a merge-conflict resolver that uses a generic algorithm plus a
small amount of language-specific knowledge
to solve conflicts that Git's default strategy cannot.
The project's contributors have been working on the
tool for just under a year, but it already

supports 33 languages, including C,
Python, Rust, and even

SystemVerilog.
