[-m <msg>] <remote> <remote>... +'git-merge' <msg> HEAD <remote>... DESCRIPTION ----------- This is the top-level interface to the merge machinery which drives multiple merge strategy scripts. +The second syntax (<msg> `HEAD` <remote>) is supported for +historical reasons. Do not use it from the command line or in +new scripts. It is the same as `git merge -m <msg> <remote>`. + OPTIONS ------- include::merge-options.txt[] -<msg>:: +-m <msg>:: The commit message to be used for the merge commit (in case it is created). The `git-fmt-merge-msg` script can be used to give a good default for automated `git-merge` invocations. -<head>:: - Our branch head commit. This has to be `HEAD`, so new - syntax does not require it - <remote>:: Other branch head merged into our branch. You need at least one <remote>. Specifying more than one <remote> |
