`git flow release finish` non-interactively

Question

How I can use git flow release finish in a manner that doesn\'t ask for merge commit messages? The -m flag doesn\'t provide this, as I expected.

Answer 1

You can set the environment variable

export GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no

git flow release finish -m 'Merge Message' release_branch_name

unset GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT

It won't invoke the editor for when you merge.

If you switch to my fork git-flow AVH Edition you can set this option to only work for when you use git-flow.
