Disables the default fast forwarding on merge commits.
|
|
|
|
- Use `git config --add merge.ff false` to disable fast-forward merging for all branches, even if it is possible.
|
|
- You can use the `--global` flag to configure this option globally.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git config [--global] --add merge.ff false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git config --global --add merge.ff false
|
|
|
|
git checkout master
|
|
git merge my-branch
|
|
# Will never fast forward even if it's possible
|
|
```
