git-fmt-merge-msg(1)



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.
