2 Show a diffstat at the end of the merge. The diffstat is also
3 controlled by the configuration option merge.stat.
6 Do not show diffstat at the end of the merge.
8 --summary, \--no-summary::
9 Synonyms to --stat and --no-stat; these are deprecated and will be
10 removed in the future.
13 In addition to branch names, populate the log message with
14 one-line descriptions from the actual commits that are being

22 Perform the merge but pretend the merge failed and do
23 not autocommit, to give the user a chance to inspect and
24 further tweak the merge result before committing.
27 Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
28 be used to override --no-commit.
31 Produce the working tree and index state as if a real
32 merge happened, but do not actually make a commit or
33 move the `HEAD`, nor record `$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD` to
34 cause the next `git commit` command to create a merge
35 commit. This allows you to create a single commit on
36 top of the current branch whose effect is the same as
37 merging another branch (or more in case of an octopus).
40 Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
41 be used to override --squash.
44 Generate a merge commit even if the merge resolved as a
48 Do not generate a merge commit if the merge resolved as
49 a fast-forward, only update the branch pointer. This is
50 the default behavior of git-merge.
52 -s <strategy>, \--strategy=<strategy>::
53 Use the given merge strategy; can be supplied more than
54 once to specify them in the order they should be tried.
55 If there is no `-s` option, a built-in list of strategies
56 is used instead (`git-merge-recursive` when merging a single
57 head, `git-merge-octopus` otherwise).
