The merge method
The method does a merge over the current working copy. It gets an Oid object as a parameter.
As its name says, it only does the merge, does not commit nor update the branch reference in the case of a fastforward.
For the moment, the merge does not support options, it will perform the merge with the default ones defined in GIT_MERGE_OPTS_INIT libgit2 constant.
Example:
>>> other_branch_tip = '5ebeeebb320790caf276b9fc8b24546d63316533'
>>> repo.merge(other_branch_tip)You can now inspect the index file for conflicts and get back to the user to resolve if there are. Once there are no conflicts left, you can create a commit with these two parents.
>>> user = repo.default_signature >>> tree = repo.index.write_tree() >>> new_commit = repo.create_commit('HEAD', user, user, tree, [repo.head.target, other_branch_tip])
Cherrypick
pygit2.Repository.cherrypick
Note that after a successful cherrypick you have to run :py.Repository.state_cleanup in
order to get the repository out of cherrypicking mode.
Lower-level methods
These methods allow more direct control over how to perform the merging. They do not modify the working directory and return an in-memory Index representing the result of the merge.
