Configuring commit merging for pull requests |
You can enforce, allow, or disable merging with a merge commit for all pull request merges on {% data variables.location.product_location %} in your repository. |

Configure commit merging |
{% data reusables.pull_requests.configure_pull_request_merges_intro %}
{% data reusables.repositories.navigate-to-repo %} {% data reusables.repositories.sidebar-settings %}
-
Under "Pull Requests", select Allow merge commits. This allows contributors to merge a pull request with a full history of commits. {% ifversion default-merge-squash-commit-message %}
-
Optionally, under Allow merge commits, select the dropdown menu, then click the format of the commit message presented to contributors when merging.
The default message includes the pull request number and title. For example,
Merge pull request #123 from patch-1. You can also choose to use just the pull request title, or the pull request title and description. {% endif %}
If you select more than one merge method, collaborators can choose which type of merge commit to use when they merge a pull request. {% data reusables.repositories.squash-and-rebase-linear-commit-history %}
