GIT−FMT−MERGE−MSG

NAME

git-fmt-merge-msg − Produce a merge commit message

SYNOPSIS

git−fmt−merge−msg [−−log | −−no−log] <$GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD
git−fmt−merge−msg [−−log | −−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 script is intended mostly for internal use by scripts automatically invoking git−merge.

OPTIONS

−−log

In addition to branch names, populate the log message with one−line descriptions from the actual commits that are being merged.

−−no−log

Do not list one−line descriptions from the actual commits being merged.

−−summary, −−no−summary

Synonyms to −−log and −−no−log; these are deprecated and will be removed in the future.

−F <file>, −−file <file>

Take the list of merged objects from <file> instead of stdin.

CONFIGURATION

merge.log

Whether to include summaries of merged commits in newly merge commit messages. False by default.

merge.summary

Synonym to merge.log; this is deprecated and will be removed in the future.
