| git-fmt-merge-msg(1) |
| ==================== |
| |
| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-fmt-merge-msg - Produce a merge commit message |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| [verse] |
| 'git fmt-merge-msg' [-m <message>] [--into-name <branch>] [--log[=<n>] | --no-log] |
| 'git fmt-merge-msg' [-m <message>] [--log[=<n>] | --no-log] -F <file> |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Takes the list of merged objects on stdin and produces a suitable |
| commit message to be used for the merge commit, usually to be |
| passed as the '<merge-message>' argument of 'git merge'. |
| |
| This command is intended mostly for internal use by scripts |
| automatically invoking 'git merge'. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| |
| --log[=<n>]:: |
| In addition to branch names, populate the log message with |
| one-line descriptions from the actual commits that are being |
| merged. At most <n> commits from each merge parent will be |
| used (20 if <n> is omitted). This overrides the `merge.log` |
| configuration variable. |
| |
| --no-log:: |
| Do not list one-line descriptions from the actual commits being |
| merged. |
| |
| --[no-]summary:: |
| Synonyms to --log and --no-log; these are deprecated and will be |
| removed in the future. |
| |
| -m <message>:: |
| --message <message>:: |
| Use <message> instead of the branch names for the first line |
| of the log message. For use with `--log`. |
| |
| --into-name <branch>:: |
| Prepare the merge message as if merging to the branch `<branch>`, |
| instead of the name of the real branch to which the merge is made. |
| |
| -F <file>:: |
| --file <file>:: |
| Take the list of merged objects from <file> instead of |
| stdin. |
| |
| CONFIGURATION |
| ------------- |
| include::config/fmt-merge-msg.txt[] |
| |
| merge.summary:: |
| Synonym to `merge.log`; this is deprecated and will be removed in |
| the future. |
| |
