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.
12 Do not generate a merge commit if the merge resolved as
13 a fast-forward, only update the branch pointer. This is
14 the default behavior of git-merge.
16 With --no-ff Generate a merge commit even if the merge
17 resolved as a fast-forward.
21 In addition to branch names, populate the log message with
22 one-line descriptions from the actual commits that are being
25 With --no-log do not list one-line descriptions from the
26 actual commits being merged.
32 Show a diffstat at the end of the merge. The diffstat is also
33 controlled by the configuration option merge.stat.
35 With -n or --no-stat do not show a diffstat at the end of the
40 Produce the working tree and index state as if a real
41 merge happened (except for the merge information),
42 but do not actually make a commit or
43 move the `HEAD`, nor record `$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD` to
44 cause the next `git commit` command to create a merge
45 commit. This allows you to create a single commit on
46 top of the current branch whose effect is the same as
47 merging another branch (or more in case of an octopus).
49 With --no-squash perform the merge and commit the result. This
50 option can be used to override --squash.
53 Refuse to merge and exit with a non-zero status unless the
54 current `HEAD` is already up-to-date or the merge can be
55 resolved as a fast-forward.
58 --strategy=<strategy>::
59 Use the given merge strategy; can be supplied more than
60 once to specify them in the order they should be tried.
61 If there is no `-s` option, a built-in list of strategies
62 is used instead ('git merge-recursive' when merging a single
63 head, 'git merge-octopus' otherwise).
66 --strategy-option=<option>::
67 Pass merge strategy specific option through to the merge
72 Synonyms to --stat and --no-stat; these are deprecated and will be
73 removed in the future.
