Merges a branch into the current branch, creating a merge commit.
- Use `git checkout <target-branch>` to switch to the branch into which you want to merge.
- Use `git merge --no-ff -m <message> <source-branch>` to merge a branch into the current branch, creating a merge commit with the specified `<message>`.
```shell
git checkout <target-branch>
git merge --no-ff -m <message> <source-branch>
```
```shell
git checkout master
git merge --no-ff -m "Merge patch-1" patch-1
# Merges the `patch-1` branch into `master` and creates a commit
# with the message "Merge patch-1"
```
