This can be done one of two ways, globally or per-project/directory:

### Globally

Install:

```sh

npm install --global git-json-merge

```

Add to `~/.gitconfig`:

```ini

[core]

    attributesfile = ~/.gitattributes

[merge "json"]

    name = custom merge driver for json files

    driver = git-json-merge %A %O %B

```

Create `~/.gitattributes`:

```ini

*.json merge=json

```

### Single project / directory

Install:

```sh

npm install git-json-merge --save-dev

```

Update git config:

```sh

git config merge.json.driver "$(npm bin)/git-json-merge %A %O %B"

git config merge.json.name "custom merge driver for json files"

```

Add the same `.gitattributes` where desired and commit.
