dolt-merge: Merge a branch and create a merge commit even when the merge resolves as a fast-forward.
$ dolt merge --no-ff ${branch_name}
try on your machine
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.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
