| pull.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). This setting overrides `merge.ff` when pulling. |
| |
| pull.rebase:: |
| When true, rebase branches on top of the fetched branch, instead |
| of merging the default branch from the default remote when "git |
| pull" is run. See "branch.<name>.rebase" for setting this on a |
| per-branch basis. |
| + |
| When `merges` (or just 'm'), pass the `--rebase-merges` option to 'git rebase' |
| so that the local merge commits are included in the rebase (see |
| linkgit:git-rebase[1] for details). |
| + |
| When the value is `interactive` (or just 'i'), the rebase is run in interactive |
| mode. |
| + |
| *NOTE*: this is a possibly dangerous operation; do *not* use |
| it unless you understand the implications (see linkgit:git-rebase[1] |
| for details). |
| |
| pull.octopus:: |
| The default merge strategy to use when pulling multiple branches |
| at once. |
| |
| pull.twohead:: |
| The default merge strategy to use when pulling a single branch. |
