NAME
git-fmt-merge-msg - Produce a merge commit messageSYNOPSIS
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.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
merge.branchdescIn addition to branch names, populate the log
message with the branch description text associated with them. Defaults to
false.
merge.log
In addition to branch names, populate the log
message with at most the specified number of one-line descriptions from the
actual commits that are being merged. Defaults to false, and true is a synonym
for 20.
merge.suppressDest
By adding a glob that matches the names of
integration branches to this multi-valued configuration variable, the default
merge message computed for merges into these integration branches will omit
"into <branch name>" from its title.
An element with an empty value can be used to clear the list of globs
accumulated from previous configuration entries. When there is no
merge.suppressDest variable defined, the default value of master
is used for backward compatibility.
merge.summary
Synonym to merge.log; this is
deprecated and will be removed in the future.
EXAMPLES
$ git fetch origin master $ git fmt-merge-msg --log <$GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD
