1 --commit::
2 --no-commit::
3 Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
4 be used to override --no-commit.
5 +
6 With --no-commit perform the merge but pretend the merge
7 failed and do not autocommit, to give the user a chance to
8 inspect and further tweak the merge result before committing.
10 --ff::
11 --no-ff::
12 Do not generate a merge commit if the merge resolved as
13 a fast-forward, only update the branch pointer. This is
14 the default behavior of git-merge.
15 +
16 With --no-ff Generate a merge commit even if the merge
17 resolved as a fast-forward.
19 --log::
20 --no-log::
21 In addition to branch names, populate the log message with
22 one-line descriptions from the actual commits that are being
23 merged.
24 +
25 With --no-log do not list one-line descriptions from the
26 actual commits being merged.
29 --stat::
30 -n::
31 --no-stat::
32 Show a diffstat at the end of the merge. The diffstat is also
33 controlled by the configuration option merge.stat.
34 +
35 With -n or --no-stat do not show a diffstat at the end of the
36 merge.
38 --squash::
39 --no-squash::
40 Produce the working tree and index state as if a real
41 merge happened (except for the merge information),
42 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).
48 +
49 With --no-squash perform the merge and commit the result. This
50 option can be used to override --squash.
52 --ff-only::
53 Refuse to merge and exit with a non-zero status unless the
54 current `HEAD` is already up-to-date or the merge can be
55 resolved as a fast-forward.
57 -s <strategy>::
58 --strategy=<strategy>::
59 Use the given merge strategy; can be supplied more than
60 once to specify them in the order they should be tried.
61 If there is no `-s` option, a built-in list of strategies
62 is used instead ('git-merge-recursive' when merging a single
63 head, 'git-merge-octopus' otherwise).
65 --summary::
66 --no-summary::
67 Synonyms to --stat and --no-stat; these are deprecated and will be
68 removed in the future.
70 -q::
71 --quiet::
72 Operate quietly.
74 -v::
75 --verbose::
76 Be verbose.
