GIT-MERGE-INTO(1) Git Extras GIT-MERGE-INTO(1)

git-merge-into - Merge one branch into another

git merge-into [src] <dest> [--ff-only]

Merge one branch into another, and keep yourself on current branch. If src branch not given, it will merge current one to dest.

<src>

The name of the branch will be merged into. If this not given, use current branch as default.

<dest>

The name of the branch to merge into.

--ff-only

Refuse to merge and exit with a non-zero status unless the current HEAD is already up-to-date or the merge can be resolved as a fast-forward.

Assume the following history exists and the current branch is src:
                 A---B---C src(current)
                /
           D---E---F---G dest
    

After running git merge-into dest, it will look like this:

                A---B---C src(current)
                /         \
           D---E---F---G---H dest
    

The H commit will record the merge result, just like what git merge does. And src is still the current branch.

The default implementation of merge-into use git checkout and git merge, which may cause temporary change in the working tree. If you make sure your branch can be merged fast-forward, add --ff-only to avoid files change.
