| --summary:: |
| Show a diffstat at the end of the merge. The diffstat is also |
| controlled by the configuration option merge.diffstat. |
| |
| -n, \--no-summary:: |
| Do not show diffstat at the end of the merge. |
| |
| --no-commit:: |
| Perform the merge but pretend the merge failed and do |
| not autocommit, to give the user a chance to inspect and |
| further tweak the merge result before committing. |
| |
| --commit:: |
| Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can |
| be used to override --no-commit. |
| |
| --squash:: |
| Produce the working tree and index state as if a real |
| merge happened, but do not actually make a commit or |
| move the `HEAD`, nor record `$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD` to |
| cause the next `git commit` command to create a merge |
| commit. This allows you to create a single commit on |
| top of the current branch whose effect is the same as |
| merging another branch (or more in case of an octopus). |
| |
| --no-squash:: |
| Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can |
| be used to override --squash. |
| |
| --no-ff:: |
| Generate a merge commit even if the merge resolved as a |
| fast-forward. |
| |
| --ff:: |
| Do not generate a merge commit if the merge resolved as |
| a fast-forward, only update the branch pointer. This is |
| the default behavior of git-merge. |
| |
| -s <strategy>, \--strategy=<strategy>:: |
| Use the given merge strategy; can be supplied more than |
| once to specify them in the order they should be tried. |
| If there is no `-s` option, a built-in list of strategies |
| is used instead (`git-merge-recursive` when merging a single |
| head, `git-merge-octopus` otherwise). |
