`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

Unfortunately there's no out-of-the-box way to achieve that with the current version of git-flow.

By looking at the source code, the git command used to merge is

git merge --no-ff

and there's no way to pass the --no-edit flag to it.

A couple of things you could do:

• fork the project and insert this capability (possibly as an optional flag)
• propose it as a feature and wait for the dev to implement it
