NAME
git-fmt-merge-msg - Produce a merge commit message
SYNOPSIS
git fmt-merge-msg [-m <message>] [--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. This command is intended mostly for internal use by scripts automatically invoking 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.
-F <file>, --file <file>
Take the list of merged objects from <file> instead of stdin.
CONFIGURATION
merge.branchdesc
In 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.summary
Synonym to merge.log; this is deprecated and will be removed in the
future.
EXAMPLE
$ git fetch origin master $ git fmt-merge-msg --log <$GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD Print a log message describing a merge of the "master" branch from the "origin" remote.
