Git: Default "no commit" merge behaviour for all branches?
git, git-config, git-merge
Solution
As I answered in the linked Question:
git config --global merge.commit no
I think the part which is of interest (you had tried almost the same) is the 'global' part.
Problem
I want "git merge" to not commit by default (i.e., I want the "--no-commit" behaviour by default), regardless of the destination branch. I know of "git config branch.master.mergeoptions" for a particular branch, and I know of "git config merge.noff no" for disabling fast-forward on all branches by default. None of the following experiments work for me. Should they? - git config branch.mergeoptions --no-commit - git config branch.*.mergeoptions --no-commit - git config merge.commit no Can't seem to find the answer via Google searches.
