To summarize more, it seems to me that only the following scripts could be worth converting: git-difftool--helper.sh git-mergetool--lib.sh git-mergetool.sh I wonder if they are really worth converting though, as they should probably all be converted together and we would likely also need to convert the scripts in mergetools/ at the same time. And then there should be a way to still easily configure things for users. So perhaps a better way to approach this would be first to convert the scripts in mergetools/ into config files. Best, Christian.
