This means that you can now use for example the -d option to activate the diffmode. To use VimR as git difftool, add the following to your ~/.gitconfig

    [difftool "vimrdiff"]
      cmd = vimr --wait --nvim -d $LOCAL $REMOTE
    [diff]
      tool = vimrdiff
    

  You have to re-install the vimr CLI tool in the Preferences window as described in the wiki.
