I don't believe meld embeds any git specific support, but if you configure git to use meld as the tool for diffing and merging, then when you use the git CLI to display a diff, it should invoke meld

e.g. in the CLI you might do something like `git diff commit_a commit_b -- some/path/in/repo` to show the diff from commit_a to commit_b limited to some path

Refer to the "configuration" sections for

  https://git-scm.com/docs/git-difftool
  https://git-scm.com/docs/git-mergetool
these git documentation pages mention meld (along with many other diff tools).
