1 -q::
2 --quiet::
3 Operate quietly.
5 -v::
6 --verbose::
7 Be verbose.
9 --stat::
10 Show a diffstat at the end of the merge. The diffstat is also
11 controlled by the configuration option merge.stat.
13 -n::
14 --no-stat::
15 Do not show a diffstat at the end of the merge.
17 --summary::
18 --no-summary::
19 Synonyms to --stat and --no-stat; these are deprecated and will be
20 removed in the future.
22 --log::
23 In addition to branch names, populate the log message with
24 one-line descriptions from the actual commits that are being
25 merged.
27 --no-log::
28 Do not list one-line descriptions from the actual commits being
29 merged.
31 --no-commit::
32 Perform the merge but pretend the merge failed and do
33 not autocommit, to give the user a chance to inspect and
34 further tweak the merge result before committing.
36 --commit::
37 Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
38 be used to override --no-commit.
40 --squash::
41 Produce the working tree and index state as if a real
42 merge happened, 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 --no-squash::
50 Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
51 be used to override --squash.
53 --no-ff::
54 Generate a merge commit even if the merge resolved as a
55 fast-forward.
57 --ff::
58 Do not generate a merge commit if the merge resolved as
59 a fast-forward, only update the branch pointer. This is
60 the default behavior of git-merge.
62 -s <strategy>::
63 --strategy=<strategy>::
64 Use the given merge strategy; can be supplied more than
65 once to specify them in the order they should be tried.
66 If there is no `-s` option, a built-in list of strategies
67 is used instead ('git-merge-recursive' when merging a single
68 head, 'git-merge-octopus' otherwise).
