| pull.ff:: | |
| 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 `false`, | |
| this variable tells Git to create an extra merge commit in such | |
| a case (equivalent to giving the `--no-ff` option from the command | |
| line). When set to `only`, only such fast-forward merges are | |
| allowed (equivalent to giving the `--ff-only` option from the | |
| command line). This setting overrides `merge.ff` when pulling. | |
| pull.rebase:: | |
| When true, rebase branches on top of the fetched branch, instead | |
| of merging the default branch from the default remote when "git | |
| pull" is run. See "branch.<name>.rebase" for setting this on a | |
| per-branch basis. | |
| + | |
| When `merges` (or just 'm'), pass the `--rebase-merges` option to 'git rebase' | |
| so that the local merge commits are included in the rebase (see | |
| linkgit:git-rebase[1] for details). | |
| + | |
| When the value is `interactive` (or just 'i'), the rebase is run in interactive | |
| mode. | |
| + | |
| *NOTE*: this is a possibly dangerous operation; do *not* use | |
| it unless you understand the implications (see linkgit:git-rebase[1] | |
| for details). | |
| pull.octopus:: | |
| The default merge strategy to use when pulling multiple branches | |
| at once. | |
| pull.autoStash:: | |
| When set to true, automatically create a temporary stash entry | |
| to record the local changes before the operation begins, and | |
| restore them after the operation completes. When your "git | |
| pull" rebases (instead of merges), this may be convenient, since | |
| unlike merging pull that tolerates local changes that do not | |
| interfere with the merge, rebasing pull refuses to work with any | |
| local changes. | |
| + | |
| If `pull.autostash` is set (either to true or false), | |
| `merge.autostash` and `rebase.autostash` are ignored. If | |
| `pull.autostash` is not set at all, depending on the value of | |
| `pull.rebase`, `merge.autostash` or `rebase.autostash` is used | |
| instead. Can be overridden by the `--[no-]autostash` command line | |
| option. | |
| pull.twohead:: | |
| The default merge strategy to use when pulling a single branch. |
