we need something like this in lazygit -- which is excellent all around but lacking in visual diffing/merging.

What is most useful though is a 3-panel setup, like JetBrains -- still the best git client I have worked with.

unfortunately for terminal lovers, the best .gitconfig snippet is still this:

  [diff]
    tool = intellij
  [difftool "intellij"]
    cmd = idea diff \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\"
  [merge]
    tool = intellij
  [mergetool "intellij"]
    cmd = idea merge \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\" \"$BASE\" \"$MERGED\"
    trustExitCode = true

What would the third panel contain in this case? Do you mean the setup that IntelliJ has in merge conflicts?

yes, it shows the final merge (what was accepted from the left and right panels); very handy
