Other than as below, no. We don't support switching between multiple git repos in one folder. Honestly, I don't see how we could easily detect and display this... in which case I think the switching would have to be manual by using the environment. > ( > Also, if the GIT repository isn't even in the same directory: > https://git-scm.com/blog/2010/04/11/environment.html > ) Meld should currently support having .git as a file containing a gitdir-style alias, and best I know will also support the GIT_DIR environment variable. Having said that, I don't know how well-tested this configuration is at this point, but I know that someone was using it in the past. cheers, Kai _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
