3 Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
4 be used to override --no-commit.
6 With --no-commit perform the merge but pretend the merge
7 failed and do not autocommit, to give the user a chance to
8 inspect and further tweak the merge result before committing.
13 Invoke editor before committing successful merge to further
14 edit the default merge message.
18 Do not generate a merge commit if the merge resolved as
19 a fast-forward, only update the branch pointer. This is
20 the default behavior of git-merge.
22 With --no-ff Generate a merge commit even if the merge
23 resolved as a fast-forward.
27 In addition to branch names, populate the log message with
28 one-line descriptions from at most <n> actual commits that are being
29 merged. See also linkgit:git-fmt-merge-msg[1].
31 With --no-log do not list one-line descriptions from the
32 actual commits being merged.
38 Show a diffstat at the end of the merge. The diffstat is also
39 controlled by the configuration option merge.stat.
41 With -n or --no-stat do not show a diffstat at the end of the
46 Produce the working tree and index state as if a real
47 merge happened (except for the merge information),
48 but do not actually make a commit or
49 move the `HEAD`, nor record `$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD` to
50 cause the next `git commit` command to create a merge
51 commit. This allows you to create a single commit on
52 top of the current branch whose effect is the same as
53 merging another branch (or more in case of an octopus).
55 With --no-squash perform the merge and commit the result. This
56 option can be used to override --squash.
59 Refuse to merge and exit with a non-zero status unless the
60 current `HEAD` is already up-to-date or the merge can be
61 resolved as a fast-forward.
64 --strategy=<strategy>::
65 Use the given merge strategy; can be supplied more than
66 once to specify them in the order they should be tried.
67 If there is no `-s` option, a built-in list of strategies
68 is used instead ('git merge-recursive' when merging a single
69 head, 'git merge-octopus' otherwise).
72 --strategy-option=<option>::
73 Pass merge strategy specific option through to the merge
78 Synonyms to --stat and --no-stat; these are deprecated and will be
79 removed in the future.
84 Operate quietly. Implies --no-progress.
92 Turn progress on/off explicitly. If neither is specified,
93 progress is shown if standard error is connected to a terminal.
94 Note that not all merge strategies may support progress
