+--commit::
+--no-commit::
+	Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
+	be used to override --no-commit.
++
+With --no-commit perform the merge and stop just before creating
+a merge commit, to give the user a chance to inspect and further
+tweak the merge result before committing.
++
+Note that fast-forward updates do not create a merge commit and
+therefore there is no way to stop those merges with --no-commit.
+Thus, if you want to ensure your branch is not changed or updated
+by the merge command, use --no-ff with --no-commit.
+
+--edit::
+-e::
+--no-edit::
+	Invoke an editor before committing successful mechanical merge to
+	further edit the auto-generated merge message, so that the user
+	can explain and justify the merge. The `--no-edit` option can be
+	used to accept the auto-generated message (this is generally
+	discouraged).
+ifndef::git-pull[]
+The `--edit` (or `-e`) option is still useful if you are
+giving a draft message with the `-m` option from the command line
+and want to edit it in the editor.
+endif::git-pull[]
++
+Older scripts may depend on the historical behaviour of not allowing the
+user to edit the merge log message. They will see an editor opened when
+they run `git merge`. To make it easier to adjust such scripts to the
+updated behaviour, the environment variable `GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT` can be
+set to `no` at the beginning of them.
+
+--cleanup=<mode>::
+	This option determines how the merge message will be cleaned up before
+	commiting. See linkgit:git-commit[1] for more details. In addition, if
+	the '<mode>' is given a value of `scissors`, scissors will be appended
+	to `MERGE_MSG` before being passed on to the commit machinery in the
+	case of a merge conflict.
+
+--ff::
+	When the merge resolves as a fast-forward, only update the branch
+	pointer, without creating a merge commit.  This is the default
+	behavior.
+
+--no-ff::
+	Create a merge commit even when the merge resolves as a
+	fast-forward.  This is the default behaviour when merging an
+	annotated (and possibly signed) tag that is not stored in
+	its natural place in 'refs/tags/' hierarchy.
+
+--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.
+
+-S[<keyid>]::
+--gpg-sign[=<keyid>]::
+	GPG-sign the resulting merge commit. The `keyid` argument is
+	optional and defaults to the committer identity; if specified,
+	it must be stuck to the option without a space.
+
+--log[=<n>]::
+--no-log::
+	In addition to branch names, populate the log message with
+	one-line descriptions from at most <n> actual commits that are being
+	merged. See also linkgit:git-fmt-merge-msg[1].
++
+With --no-log do not list one-line descriptions from the
+actual commits being merged.
+
+--signoff::
+--no-signoff::
+	Add Signed-off-by line by the committer at the end of the commit
+	log message.  The meaning of a signoff depends on the project,
+	but it typically certifies that committer has
+	the rights to submit this work under the same license and
+	agrees to a Developer Certificate of Origin
+	(see http://developercertificate.org/ for more information).
++
+With --no-signoff do not add a Signed-off-by line.
+
+--stat::
+-n::
+--no-stat::
+	Show a diffstat at the end of the merge. The diffstat is also
+	controlled by the configuration option merge.stat.
++
+With -n or --no-stat do not show a diffstat at the end of the
+merge.
+
+--squash::
+--no-squash::
+	Produce the working tree and index state as if a real merge
+	happened (except for the merge information), but do not actually
+	make a commit, move the `HEAD`, or record `$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD`
+	(to cause the next `git commit` command to create a merge
+	commit).  This allows you to create a single commit on top of
+	the current branch whose effect is the same as merging another
+	branch (or more in case of an octopus).
++
+With --no-squash perform the merge and commit the result. This
+option can be used to override --squash.
++
+With --squash, --commit is not allowed, and will fail.
+
+-s <strategy>::
+--strategy=<strategy>::
+	Use the given merge strategy; can be supplied more than
+	once to specify them in the order they should be tried.
+	If there is no `-s` option, a built-in list of strategies
+	is used instead ('git merge-recursive' when merging a single
+	head, 'git merge-octopus' otherwise).
+
+-X <option>::
+--strategy-option=<option>::
+	Pass merge strategy specific option through to the merge
+	strategy.
+
+--verify-signatures::
+--no-verify-signatures::
+	Verify that the tip commit of the side branch being merged is
+	signed with a valid key, i.e. a key that has a valid uid: in the
+	default trust model, this means the signing key has been signed by
+	a trusted key.  If the tip commit of the side branch is not signed
+	with a valid key, the merge is aborted.
+
+--summary::
+--no-summary::
+	Synonyms to --stat and --no-stat; these are deprecated and will be
+	removed in the future.
+
+ifndef::git-pull[]
+-q::
+--quiet::
+	Operate quietly. Implies --no-progress.
+
+-v::
+--verbose::
+	Be verbose.
+
+--progress::
+--no-progress::
+	Turn progress on/off explicitly. If neither is specified,
+	progress is shown if standard error is connected to a terminal.
+	Note that not all merge strategies may support progress
+	reporting.
+
+endif::git-pull[]
+
+--allow-unrelated-histories::
+	By default, `git merge` command refuses to merge histories
+	that do not share a common ancestor.  This option can be
+	used to override this safety when merging histories of two
+	projects that started their lives independently. As that is
+	a very rare occasion, no configuration variable to enable
+	this by default exists and will not be added.
