1--commit:: 2--no-commit:: 3 Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can 4 be used to override --no-commit. 5+ 6With --no-commit perform the merge but pretend the merge 7failed and do not autocommit, to give the user a chance to 8inspect and further tweak the merge result before committing. 9 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+ 16With --no-ff Generate a merge commit even if the merge 17resolved as a fast-forward. 18 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+ 25With --no-log do not list one-line descriptions from the 26actual commits being merged. 27 28 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+ 35With -n or --no-stat do not show a diffstat at the end of the 36merge. 37 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+ 49With --no-squash perform the merge and commit the result. This 50option can be used to override --squash. 51 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. 56 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). 64 65-X <option>:: 66--strategy-option=<option>:: 67 Pass merge strategy specific option through to the merge 68 strategy. 69 70--summary:: 71--no-summary:: 72 Synonyms to --stat and --no-stat; these are deprecated and will be 73 removed in the future. 74 75ifndef::git-pull[] 76-q:: 77--quiet:: 78 Operate quietly. 79 80-v:: 81--verbose:: 82 Be verbose. 83endif::git-pull[]
