| merge.conflictStyle:: |
| Specify the style in which conflicted hunks are written out to |
| working tree files upon merge. The default is "merge", which |
| shows a `<<<<<<<` conflict marker, changes made by one side, |
| a `=======` marker, changes made by the other side, and then |
| a `>>>>>>>` marker. An alternate style, "diff3", adds a `|||||||` |
| marker and the original text before the `=======` marker. |
| |
| merge.defaultToUpstream:: |
| If merge is called without any commit argument, merge the upstream |
| branches configured for the current branch by using their last |
| observed values stored in their remote-tracking branches. |
| The values of the `branch.<current branch>.merge` that name the |
| branches at the remote named by `branch.<current branch>.remote` |
| are consulted, and then they are mapped via `remote.<remote>.fetch` |
| to their corresponding remote-tracking branches, and the tips of |
| these tracking branches are merged. |
| |
| merge.ff:: |
| By default, Git does not create an extra merge commit when merging |
| a commit that is a descendant of the current commit. Instead, the |
| tip of the current branch is fast-forwarded. When set to `false`, |
| this variable tells Git to create an extra merge commit in such |
| a case (equivalent to giving the `--no-ff` option from the command |
| line). When set to `only`, only such fast-forward merges are |
| allowed (equivalent to giving the `--ff-only` option from the |
| command line). |
| |
| include::fmt-merge-msg-config.txt[] |
| |
| merge.renameLimit:: |
| The number of files to consider when performing rename detection |
| during a merge; if not specified, defaults to the value of |
| diff.renameLimit. |
| |
| merge.renormalize:: |
| Tell Git that canonical representation of files in the |
| repository has changed over time (e.g. earlier commits record |
| text files with CRLF line endings, but recent ones use LF line |
| endings). In such a repository, Git can convert the data |
| recorded in commits to a canonical form before performing a |
| merge to reduce unnecessary conflicts. For more information, |
| see section "Merging branches with differing checkin/checkout |
| attributes" in linkgit:gitattributes[5]. |
| |
| merge.stat:: |
| Whether to print the diffstat between ORIG_HEAD and the merge result |
| at the end of the merge. True by default. |
| |
| merge.tool:: |
| Controls which merge tool is used by linkgit:git-mergetool[1]. |
| The list below shows the valid built-in values. |
| Any other value is treated as a custom merge tool and requires |
| that a corresponding mergetool.<tool>.cmd variable is defined. |
| |
| include::mergetools-merge.txt[] |
| |
| merge.verbosity:: |
| Controls the amount of output shown by the recursive merge |
| strategy. Level 0 outputs nothing except a final error |
| message if conflicts were detected. Level 1 outputs only |
| conflicts, 2 outputs conflicts and file changes. Level 5 and |
| above outputs debugging information. The default is level 2. |
| Can be overridden by the 'GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY' environment variable. |
| |
| merge.<driver>.name:: |
| Defines a human-readable name for a custom low-level |
| merge driver. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details. |
| |
| merge.<driver>.driver:: |
| Defines the command that implements a custom low-level |
| merge driver. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details. |
| |
| merge.<driver>.recursive:: |
| Names a low-level merge driver to be used when |
| performing an internal merge between common ancestors. |
| See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details. |
