Add a 3-way merge UI to ease complicated merges and rebases
When rebasing big changes, it is really hard to keep track of what was changed and why.
A 3-way diff is an absolute necessity to properly resolve conflicts. Right now GitKraken UI show only a 2-way merge:
1. Remote
2. Local
+ Output
3-way merge tools (i.e. Kdiff3) add another view of a file, often called a `Base` - i.e. the state from which the branches diverge.
Please add the 3-way merge UI to make resolving conflicts easier.

dada051GitKraken supports very old version of KDiff3 (which can be found at kdiff3.sourceforge.net) but not the new ones that can be found here: https://download.kde.org/stable/kdiff3/?C=N;O=D

VeitGitKrakens merge editor is a kind of a 3-way editor. As long as you don't select a line from Remote or Local the lower view shows the base. But I agree that a dedicated base-view would be great in cases where a merge conflict is more complicated.

George SkarpathiotakisI totally agree. The way we work here and with multiple projects working on the same code there are cases where the Git Kraken doesn't know that there's a conflict. So it would be invaluable to have this feature, and even be able to have the option to force a 3 way merge view in case we want to do the merge manually.

Probably the best merge tool you can have
