The command "dolt merge --no-ff ${branch_name}" is used in the Dolt version control system to merge changes from a specified branch into the current branch.

Explanation:

• "dolt merge" is the primary command used to merge branches in Dolt.
• "--no-ff" is an option that stands for "no fast-forward". When this option is used, Dolt will create a merge commit even if a fast-forward merge is possible.
• "${branch_name}" is the name of the branch that contains the changes you want to merge into the current branch. You need to replace "${branch_name}" with the actual branch name in the command.

By executing this command, Dolt will perform a merge operation and create a merge commit that combines the changes from the specified branch with the current branch, even if a fast-forward merge is possible. This command allows you to preserve a clear history of branch merges in Dolt.
