How to prevent Gitlab from creating extra merge commit on branch merge

Question

I use GitLab in my project. I\'m exploring Merge Requests feature.

1. I created a topic_branch from master.
2. Made a bunch of commit

Answer 1

update currently gitlab supports both rejecting non-fast-forward commits and squashing multiple commits of a merge request, so my comment below isn't that valid anymore

If you don't want to have a merge commit, don't do a merge. That means do a rebase on target branch (master) and a push.
