How to prevent .orig files from being created

[HotKewlAid]

Every time I resolve a merge conflict, there are .orig files that are created in the directories that I have to manually delete. Is there a way to prevent these from being created?

Are you using this with another tool, such as integrated with source control? If so, what are your options that are configured and with which tool?

I am using Sublime Text 3 with the Sublime Git plugin for basic git commands. If there is a merge conflict I created a short cut to I can run git mergetool from my terminal window to launch your program to resolve the conflict. I am not aware of any settings available to me from the Sublime git plugin.

Have you checked what the git mergetool does with the files? If it pulls the versions it needs into that location before passing them to DiffMerge, then that would make sense. DiffMerge doesn't make copies of files. It only loads what it is told to and diffs.

When you configured DiffMerge, what did you enter in for options? Can you show a screenshot of where you configured it?
