Hello, I create a small text file ending with \0 and add it to git: In .gitattributes I specify: *.txt diff merge=text text I create several commits by changing the small text file. The result is at https://github.com/dilyanpalauzov/git-diff-biinary . I do now git rebase -i HEAD~2 and before the “second commit” type E to edit that commit. I change the small file. git add a.txt && git rebase --continue git says: [detached HEAD bc00e34] second commit Date: Sun Mar 21 19:16:15 2021 +0200 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) warning: Cannot merge binary files: a.txt (HEAD vs. 04c77de (third commit)) Auto-merging a.txt CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in a.txt error: could not apply 04c77de... third commit Resolve all conflicts manually, mark them as resolved with "git add/rm <conflicted_files>", then run "git rebase --continue". You can instead skip this commit: run "git rebase --skip". To abort and get back to the state before "git rebase", run "git rebase --abort". Could not apply 04c77de... third commit 'git diff' and 'git diff --text' show: diff --cc a.txt index 7a61015,dc817ec..0000000 --- a/a.txt +++ b/a.txt The file does not contain <<HEAD===>>> markers, despite having merge=text attribute. HOW CAN I force git diff to show the differences and git merge to include the <<<===>>> markers? I have to say, that at different occassions git diff --text does work ass expected (e.g. when I call git diff --cached --text). I call now git rebase --abort git log -p git shows the differences in the small text file ending with \0. So apparently log reads the option, but diff does not. Using git 2.30.2. Greetings Дилян
