<p>Incorporates changes from the named commits (since the time their
histories diverged from the current branch) into the current

from another repository and can be used by hand to merge changes
from one branch into another.</p>

<p>Assume the following history exists and the current branch is
"<code>master</code>":</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>Then "<code>git merge topic</code>" will replay the changes made on the
<code>topic</code> branch since it diverged from <code>master</code> (i.e., <code>E</code>) until
its current commit (<code>C</code>) on top of <code>master</code>, and record the result
in a new commit along with the names of the two parent commits and
a log message from the user describing the changes.</p>

<p>The second syntax ("<code>git merge --abort</code>") can only be run after the
merge has resulted in conflicts. <em>git merge --abort</em> will abort the
merge process and try to reconstruct the pre-merge state. However,
if there were uncommitted changes when the merge started (and
especially if those changes were further modified after the merge
was started), <em>git merge --abort</em> will in some cases be unable to
reconstruct the original (pre-merge) changes. Therefore:</p>

<p><strong>Warning</strong>: Running <em>git merge</em> with non-trivial uncommitted changes is
discouraged: while possible, it may leave you in a state that is hard to

<p>Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
be used to override --no-commit.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>With --no-commit perform the merge and stop just before creating
a merge commit, to give the user a chance to inspect and further
tweak the merge result before committing.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Note that fast-forward updates do not create a merge commit and
therefore there is no way to stop those merges with --no-commit.
Thus, if you want to ensure your branch is not changed or updated
by the merge command, use --no-ff with --no-commit.</p>

<p>	Invoke an editor before committing successful mechanical merge to
	further edit the auto-generated merge message, so that the user
	can explain and justify the merge. The <code>--no-edit</code> option can be
	used to accept the auto-generated message (this is generally
	discouraged).
The <code>--edit</code> (or <code>-e</code>) option is still useful if you are
giving a draft message with the <code>-m</code> option from the command line
and want to edit it in the editor.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Older scripts may depend on the historical behaviour of not allowing the
user to edit the merge log message. They will see an editor opened when
they run <code>git merge</code>. To make it easier to adjust such scripts to the
updated behaviour, the environment variable <code>GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT</code> can be
set to <code>no</code> at the beginning of them.</p>
</div>

<p>This option determines how the merge message will be cleaned up before
committing. See <a href="git-commit.html">git-commit(1)</a> for more details. In addition, if
the <em>&lt;mode&gt;</em> is given a value of <code>scissors</code>, scissors will be appended
to <code>MERGE_MSG</code> before being passed on to the commit machinery in the
case of a merge conflict.</p>

<p>Specifies how a merge is handled when the merged-in history is
already a descendant of the current history.  <code>--ff</code> is the
default unless merging an annotated (and possibly signed) tag
that is not stored in its natural place in the <code>refs/tags/</code>
hierarchy, in which case <code>--no-ff</code> is assumed.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>With <code>--ff</code>, when possible resolve the merge as a fast-forward (only
update the branch pointer to match the merged branch; do not create a
merge commit).  When not possible (when the merged-in history is not a
descendant of the current history), create a merge commit.</p>

<p>Add a <code>Signed-off-by</code> trailer by the committer at the end of the commit
log message.  The meaning of a signoff depends on the project
to which you&#8217;re committing.  For example, it may certify that
the committer has the rights to submit the work under the
project&#8217;s license or agrees to some contributor representation,
such as a Developer Certificate of Origin.
(See <a href="http://developercertificate.org" class="bare">http://developercertificate.org</a> for the one used by the
Linux kernel and Git projects.)  Consult the documentation or
leadership of the project to which you&#8217;re contributing to
understand how the signoffs are used in that project.</p>

make a commit, move the <code>HEAD</code>, or record <code>$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD</code>

the current branch whose effect is the same as merging another
branch (or more in case of an octopus).</p>

good shape and committed locally, so it will not be clobbered if
there are conflicts.  See also <a href="git-stash.html">git-stash(1)</a>.

<em>git pull</em> and <em>git merge</em> will also abort if there are any changes

strategy is in use, but generally, the index must match HEAD.)</p>

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Often the current branch head is an ancestor of the named commit.
This is the most common case especially when invoked from <em>git
pull</em>: you are tracking an upstream repository, you have committed
no local changes, and now you want to update to a newer upstream
revision.  In this case, a new commit is not needed to store the
combined history; instead, the <code>HEAD</code> (along with the index) is
updated to point at the named commit, without creating an extra
merge commit.</p>

<p>This behavior can be suppressed with the <code>--no-ff</code> option.</p>

as its parents.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>A merged version reconciling the changes from all branches to be
merged is committed, and your <code>HEAD</code>, index, and working tree are
updated to it.  It is possible to have modifications in the working
tree as long as they do not overlap; the update will preserve them.</p>

</li>
<li>
<p>Paths that merged cleanly are updated both in the index file and
in your working tree.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>For conflicting paths, the index file records up to three
versions: stage 1 stores the version from the common ancestor,
stage 2 from <code>HEAD</code>, and stage 3 from <code>MERGE_HEAD</code> (you
can inspect the stages with <code>git ls-files -u</code>).  The working
tree files contain the result of the "merge" program; i.e. 3-way
merge results with familiar conflict markers <code>&lt;&lt;&lt;</code> <code>===</code> <code>&gt;&gt;&gt;</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>No other changes are made.  In particular, the local
modifications you had before you started merge will stay the
same and the index entries for them stay as they were,
i.e. matching <code>HEAD</code>.</p>

<p>When merging an annotated (and possibly signed) tag, Git always
creates a merge commit even if a fast-forward merge is possible, and
the commit message template is prepared with the tag message.
Additionally, if the tag is signed, the signature check is reported
as a comment in the message template. See also <a href="git-tag.html">git-tag(1)</a>.</p>

<p>In such a case, you can "unwrap" the tag yourself before feeding it
to <code>git merge</code>, or pass <code>--ff-only</code> when you do not have any work on
your own. e.g.</p>

<p>During a merge, the working tree files are updated to reflect the result
of the merge.  Among the changes made to the common ancestor&#8217;s version,
non-overlapping ones (that is, you changed an area of the file while the
other side left that area intact, or vice versa) are incorporated in the
final result verbatim.  When both sides made changes to the same area,
however, Git cannot randomly pick one side over the other, and asks you to
resolve it by leaving what both sides did to that area.</p>

that statement and gave up, while the other side tried to have a more
positive attitude.  You can sometimes come up with a better resolution by
viewing the original.</p>

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>After seeing a conflict, you can do two things:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>Decide not to merge.  The only clean-ups you need are to reset
the index file to the <code>HEAD</code> commit to reverse 2. and to clean
up working tree changes made by 2. and 3.; <code>git merge --abort</code>
can be used for this.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Resolve the conflicts.  Git will mark the conflicts in
the working tree.  Edit the files into shape and
<em>git add</em> them to the index.  Use <em>git commit</em> or
<em>git merge --continue</em> to seal the deal. The latter command
checks whether there is a (interrupted) merge in progress
before calling <em>git commit</em>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You can work through the conflict with a number of tools:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>Use a mergetool.  <code>git mergetool</code> to launch a graphical
mergetool which will work you through the merge.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Look at the diffs.  <code>git diff</code> will show a three-way diff,
highlighting changes from both the <code>HEAD</code> and <code>MERGE_HEAD</code>
versions.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Look at the diffs from each branch. <code>git log --merge -p &lt;path&gt;</code>
will show diffs first for the <code>HEAD</code> version and then the
<code>MERGE_HEAD</code> version.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Look at the originals.  <code>git show :1:filename</code> shows the
common ancestor, <code>git show :2:filename</code> shows the <code>HEAD</code>
version, and <code>git show :3:filename</code> shows the <code>MERGE_HEAD</code>
version.</p>

<h2 id="_merge_strategies">MERGE STRATEGIES</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The merge mechanism (<code>git merge</code> and <code>git pull</code> commands) allows the
backend <em>merge strategies</em> to be chosen with <code>-s</code> option.  Some strategies
can also take their own options, which can be passed by giving <code>-X&lt;option&gt;</code>
arguments to <code>git merge</code> and/or <code>git pull</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="dlist">
<dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">ort</dt>
<dd>
<p>This is the default merge strategy when pulling or merging one
branch.  This strategy can only resolve two heads using a
3-way merge algorithm.  When there is more than one common
ancestor that can be used for 3-way merge, it creates a merged
tree of the common ancestors and uses that as the reference
tree for the 3-way merge.  This has been reported to result in
fewer merge conflicts without causing mismerges by tests done
on actual merge commits taken from Linux 2.6 kernel
development history.  Additionally this strategy can detect
and handle merges involving renames.  It does not make use of
detected copies.  The name for this algorithm is an acronym
("Ostensibly Recursive&#8217;s Twin") and came from the fact that it
was written as a replacement for the previous default
algorithm, <code>recursive</code>.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <em>ort</em> strategy can take the following options:</p>
</div>
<div class="dlist">
<dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">ours</dt>
<dd>
<p>This option forces conflicting hunks to be auto-resolved cleanly by
favoring <em>our</em> version.  Changes from the other tree that do not
conflict with our side are reflected in the merge result.
For a binary file, the entire contents are taken from our side.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This should not be confused with the <em>ours</em> merge strategy, which does not
even look at what the other tree contains at all.  It discards everything
the other tree did, declaring <em>our</em> history contains all that happened in it.</p>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">theirs</dt>
<dd>
<p>This is the opposite of <em>ours</em>; note that, unlike <em>ours</em>, there is

<dd>
<p>Treats lines with the indicated type of whitespace change as

changes mixed with other changes to a line are not ignored.

</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">renormalize</dt>
<dd>
<p>This runs a virtual check-out and check-in of all three stages
of a file when resolving a three-way merge.  This option is
meant to be used when merging branches with different clean
filters or end-of-line normalization rules.  See "Merging
branches with differing checkin/checkout attributes" in
<a href="gitattributes.html">gitattributes(5)</a> for details.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">no-renormalize</dt>

<dd>
<p>Turn on rename detection, optionally setting the similarity

<dd>
<p>Deprecated synonym for <code>find-renames=&lt;n&gt;</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">subtree[=&lt;path&gt;]</dt>
<dd>
<p>This option is a more advanced form of <em>subtree</em> strategy, where
the strategy makes a guess on how two trees must be shifted to
match with each other when merging.  Instead, the specified path
is prefixed (or stripped from the beginning) to make the shape of
two trees to match.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">recursive</dt>
<dd>
<p>This can only resolve two heads using a 3-way merge
algorithm.  When there is more than one common
ancestor that can be used for 3-way merge, it creates a
merged tree of the common ancestors and uses that as
the reference tree for the 3-way merge.  This has been

causing mismerges by tests done on actual merge commits
taken from Linux 2.6 kernel development history.
Additionally this can detect and handle merges involving
renames.  It does not make use of detected copies.  This was
the default strategy for resolving two heads from Git v0.99.9k
until v2.33.0.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <em>recursive</em> strategy takes the same options as <em>ort</em>.  However,
there are three additional options that <em>ort</em> ignores (not documented
above) that are potentially useful with the <em>recursive</em> strategy:</p>
</div>
<div class="dlist">
<dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">patience</dt>
<dd>
<p>Deprecated synonym for <code>diff-algorithm=patience</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">diff-algorithm=[patience|minimal|histogram|myers]</dt>
<dd>
<p>Use a different diff algorithm while merging, which can help
avoid mismerges that occur due to unimportant matching lines
(such as braces from distinct functions).  See also
<a href="git-diff.html">git-diff(1)</a> <code>--diff-algorithm</code>.  Note that <code>ort</code>
specifically uses <code>diff-algorithm=histogram</code>, while <code>recursive</code>
defaults to the <code>diff.algorithm</code> config setting.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">no-renames</dt>
<dd>
<p>Turn off rename detection. This overrides the <code>merge.renames</code>
configuration variable.
See also <a href="git-diff.html">git-diff(1)</a> <code>--no-renames</code>.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">resolve</dt>
<dd>
<p>This can only resolve two heads (i.e. the current branch
and another branch you pulled from) using a 3-way merge
algorithm.  It tries to carefully detect criss-cross
merge ambiguities.  It does not handle renames.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">octopus</dt>
<dd>
<p>This resolves cases with more than two heads, but refuses to do
a complex merge that needs manual resolution.  It is
primarily meant to be used for bundling topic branch
heads together.  This is the default merge strategy when
pulling or merging more than one branch.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">ours</dt>
<dd>
<p>This resolves any number of heads, but the resulting tree of the
merge is always that of the current branch head, effectively
ignoring all changes from all other branches.  It is meant to
be used to supersede old development history of side
branches.  Note that this is different from the -Xours option to
the <em>recursive</em> merge strategy.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">subtree</dt>
<dd>
<p>This is a modified <code>ort</code> strategy. When merging trees A and
B, if B corresponds to a subtree of A, B is first adjusted to
match the tree structure of A, instead of reading the trees at
the same level. This adjustment is also done to the common
ancestor tree.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>With the strategies that use 3-way merge (including the default, <em>ort</em>),
if a change is made on both branches, but later reverted on one of the
branches, that change will be present in the merged result; some people find
this behavior confusing.  It occurs because only the heads and the merge base
are considered when performing a merge, not the individual commits.  The merge
algorithm therefore considers the reverted change as no change at all, and
substitutes the changed version instead.</p>
</div>

<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_configuration">CONFIGURATION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="dlist">
<dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">merge.conflictStyle</dt>
<dd>
<p>Specify the style in which conflicted hunks are written out to
working tree files upon merge.  The default is "merge", which
shows a <code>&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;</code> conflict marker, changes made by one side,
a <code>=======</code> marker, changes made by the other side, and then
a <code>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</code> marker.  An alternate style, "diff3", adds a <code>|||||||</code>
marker and the original text before the <code>=======</code> marker.  The
"merge" style tends to produce smaller conflict regions than diff3,
both because of the exclusion of the original text, and because
when a subset of lines match on the two sides they are just pulled
out of the conflict region.  Another alternate style, "zdiff3", is
similar to diff3 but removes matching lines on the two sides from
the conflict region when those matching lines appear near either
the beginning or end of a conflict region.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">merge.defaultToUpstream</dt>
<dd>
<p>If merge is called without any commit argument, merge the upstream
branches configured for the current branch by using their last
observed values stored in their remote-tracking branches.
The values of the <code>branch.&lt;current branch&gt;.merge</code> that name the
branches at the remote named by <code>branch.&lt;current branch&gt;.remote</code>
are consulted, and then they are mapped via <code>remote.&lt;remote&gt;.fetch</code>
to their corresponding remote-tracking branches, and the tips of
these tracking branches are merged. Defaults to true.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">merge.ff</dt>
<dd>
<p>By default, Git does not create an extra merge commit when merging
a commit that is a descendant of the current commit. Instead, the
tip of the current branch is fast-forwarded. When set to <code>false</code>,
this variable tells Git to create an extra merge commit in such
a case (equivalent to giving the <code>--no-ff</code> option from the command
line). When set to <code>only</code>, only such fast-forward merges are
allowed (equivalent to giving the <code>--ff-only</code> option from the
command line).</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">merge.verifySignatures</dt>
<dd>
<p>If true, this is equivalent to the --verify-signatures command
line option. See <a href="git-merge.html">git-merge(1)</a> for details.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">merge.branchdesc</dt>
<dd>
<p>In addition to branch names, populate the log message with
the branch description text associated with them.  Defaults
to false.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">merge.log</dt>
<dd>
<p>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.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">merge.suppressDest</dt>
<dd>
<p>By adding a glob that matches the names of integration
branches to this multi-valued configuration variable, the
default merge message computed for merges into these
integration branches will omit "into &lt;branch name&gt;" from
its title.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>An element with an empty value can be used to clear the list
of globs accumulated from previous configuration entries.
When there is no <code>merge.suppressDest</code> variable defined, the
default value of <code>master</code> is used for backward compatibility.</p>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">merge.renameLimit</dt>
<dd>
<p>The number of files to consider in the exhaustive portion of
rename detection during a merge.  If not specified, defaults
to the value of diff.renameLimit.  If neither
merge.renameLimit nor diff.renameLimit are specified,
currently defaults to 7000.  This setting has no effect if
rename detection is turned off.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">merge.renames</dt>
<dd>
<p>Whether Git detects renames.  If set to "false", rename detection
is disabled. If set to "true", basic rename detection is enabled.
Defaults to the value of diff.renames.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">merge.directoryRenames</dt>
<dd>
<p>Whether Git detects directory renames, affecting what happens at
merge time to new files added to a directory on one side of
history when that directory was renamed on the other side of
history.  If merge.directoryRenames is set to "false", directory
rename detection is disabled, meaning that such new files will be
left behind in the old directory.  If set to "true", directory
rename detection is enabled, meaning that such new files will be
moved into the new directory.  If set to "conflict", a conflict
will be reported for such paths.  If merge.renames is false,
merge.directoryRenames is ignored and treated as false.  Defaults
to "conflict".</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">merge.renormalize</dt>
<dd>
<p>Tell Git that canonical representation of files in the
repository has changed over time (e.g. earlier commits record
text files with CRLF line endings, but recent ones use LF line
endings).  In such a repository, Git can convert the data
recorded in commits to a canonical form before performing a
merge to reduce unnecessary conflicts.  For more information,
see section "Merging branches with differing checkin/checkout
attributes" in <a href="gitattributes.html">gitattributes(5)</a>.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">merge.stat</dt>
<dd>
<p>Whether to print the diffstat between ORIG_HEAD and the merge result
at the end of the merge.  True by default.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">merge.autoStash</dt>
<dd>
<p>When set to true, automatically create a temporary stash entry
before the operation begins, and apply it after the operation
ends.  This means that you can run merge on a dirty worktree.
However, use with care: the final stash application after a
successful merge might result in non-trivial conflicts.
This option can be overridden by the <code>--no-autostash</code> and
<code>--autostash</code> options of <a href="git-merge.html">git-merge(1)</a>.
Defaults to false.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">merge.tool</dt>
<dd>
<p>Controls which merge tool is used by <a href="git-mergetool.html">git-mergetool(1)</a>.
