Git asks for commit message when pulling from other branch
git, terminal, version-control
Solution
You can see this in `git-merge`
--edit
--no-edit
Invoke editor before committing successful merge to further edit the default merge message. The --no-edit option can be used to accept the auto-generated message (this is generally discouraged) when merging an annotated tag, in which case git merge automatically spawns the editor so that the result of the GPG verification of the tag can be seen.
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 git merge to merge an annotated tag. To make it easier to adjust such scripts to the updated behaviour, the environment variable GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT can be set to no at the beginning of them.
And I solove it by adding `export GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no` in my `.bash_profile`
Problem
Our company git workflow looks like this: Every team member has there own branch and pulls from and pushes to a main branch called develop. Whenever I go `git pull develop` git automatically opens up a texteditor (my beloved vim that is) and asks `Explain why this merge is necessary`. Why is this and how can I get rid of it?
