GIT\-FMT\-MERGE\-MSG

NAME

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 command 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.
