Syntax

p4 merge [options] --repo=//repo/name:target:source0[:sourcen ...]...

Syntax conventions

Description

Merges commits from the source branch into this branch, typically creating a merge commit.

Interactive mode

p4 merge [options] source-branch

In this mode, a graph client is required that maps to a single repo and the target branch is the branch to which the client is currently synced.

Non-interactive mode

p4 merge [options] --repo=//repo/name --target=branch source-branch0 [source-branchn ...]

The --repo flag specifies that the merge is a non-interactive clientless merge to be performed on the server. This requires a --target branch to merge to.

Atomic non-interactive mode

p4 merge [options] --repo=//repo/name:target:source0[:sourcen ...]...

In the atomic non-interactive mode, a clientless merge is performed on the server and involves multiple repos.

Specify the --repo flag repeatedly with the single target branch and one or more source branches separated with a colon (:) character.

Options

-d description	The default description is Merge into <target> <source> by default.
--ff-only	Refuse to merge unless the current branch head is already up-to-date or the merge can be resolved as a fast-forward.
--no-ff	Create a merge commit even if it resolves as a fast-forward.
--squash	Perform a merge without a merge commit (single parent).
-n	Preview the merge.
