NAME

6       git-fmt-merge-msg - Produce a merge commit message
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git fmt-merge-msg [-m <message>] [--log[=<n>] | --no-log]
10       git fmt-merge-msg [-m <message>] [--log[=<n>] | --no-log] -F <file>
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Takes the list of merged objects on stdin and produces a suitable
14       commit message to be used for the merge commit, usually to be passed as
15       the <merge-message> argument of git merge.
16
17       This command is intended mostly for internal use by scripts
18       automatically invoking git merge.
19

OPTIONS

21       --log[=<n>]
22           In addition to branch names, populate the log message with one-line
23           descriptions from the actual commits that are being merged. At most
24           <n> commits from each merge parent will be used (20 if <n> is
25           omitted). This overrides the merge.log configuration variable.
26
27       --no-log
28           Do not list one-line descriptions from the actual commits being
29           merged.
30
31       --[no-]summary
32           Synonyms to --log and --no-log; these are deprecated and will be
33           removed in the future.
34
35       -m <message>, --message <message>
36           Use <message> instead of the branch names for the first line of the
37           log message. For use with --log.
38
39       -F <file>, --file <file>
40           Take the list of merged objects from <file> instead of stdin.
41

CONFIGURATION

43       merge.branchdesc
44           In addition to branch names, populate the log message with the
45           branch description text associated with them. Defaults to false.
46
47       merge.log
48           In addition to branch names, populate the log message with at most
49           the specified number of one-line descriptions from the actual
50           commits that are being merged. Defaults to false, and true is a
51           synonym for 20.
52
53       merge.summary
54           Synonym to merge.log; this is deprecated and will be removed in the
55           future.
56

58           $ git fetch origin master
59           $ git fmt-merge-msg --log <$GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD
