For several ones, I want to merge them into master. Here is what I am trying to use: git checkout master git merge -m "Message" topic-branch The merge is correct but there is not merge message when I do a git log. I have tried either with and without -m, I even tried with git merge "merge message" topic-branch but then it failed. What is the correct way to have merge message ? Thank you -- Xavier
