+usage: $0 LOCAL BASE REMOTE MERGED
+
+A \`git-mergetool\`-compatible merge tool that uses \`nixfmt\` to merge more
+stuff.
+
+This tool rejects all non-\`.nix\` files, for \`.nix\` files it simply
+
+- calls \`nixfmt\` on its first three inputs, followed by
+- running \`git merge-file\` on the same inputs, followed by
+- running \`nixfmt\` on the result.
+
+Put the following to your \`~/.gitconfig\`:
+
+\`\`\`
+[mergetool "nixfmt"]
+    cmd = nixfmt-mergetool "\$LOCAL" "\$BASE" "\$REMOTE" "\$MERGED"
+    trustExitCode = true
+\`\`\`
+
+Then, when \`git merge\` or \`git rebase\` fails, run
+
+\`\`\`
+git mergetool -t nixfmt .
+# or, only for some specific files
+git mergetool -t nixfmt FILE1 FILE2 FILE3
+\`\`\`
+
+and some \`.nix\` files will probably get merged automagically.
+
+Note that files that \`git\` merges successfully even before \`git mergetool\`
+will be ignored by \`git mergetool\`.
+
+If you don't like the result, run
+
+\`\`\`
+git restore --merge .
+# or, only for some specific files
+git restore --merge FILE1 FILE2 FILE3
+\`\`\`
+
+to return back to the unmerged state.
