Git merge doesn't use default merge message, opens editor with default message
Solution 1:
Found the answer after some digging
EDIT: As per Mark's suggestion, this is the best way to do so:
git config --global core.mergeoptions --no-edit
Solution 2:
Use
export GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no
or
git merge --no-edit
Solution 3:
This is a new feature of Git, introduced in Git 1.7.10, to use the old one (don't provide a message on merge) put these two lines in your .bash_profile
or .bashrc
GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no
export GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT
