Editing Map Merger (section)

== Use as a Git Commit Hook (preferred) ==

This method requires slightly more setup, and requires you to be using git rather than just downloading the source, but requires no manual intervention after setup. For this reason, it is the recommended method.

# '''Install the hook''': Windows users run <code>tools/hooks/install.bat</code>. Other platforms run <code>tools/hooks/install.sh</code>.

Now, any time you create a commit, the map merger runs automatically and bases your changes on top of the previous version of the map stored in git. The dialog box or console output of the commit will show the map merger's log. You can check the git commit log to review changes, or run <code>tools/mapmerge2/precommit.py</code> manually to review changes before comitting.
