Support custom merge commit messages

14 votes

When I drag & drop one branch onto another, it says `Merge branch 'source-branch' into main`

Let me customize this message. I would like to use gitmoji to prefix the commit message with twisted rightwards arrows.

`:twisted_rightwards_arrows: Merge branch 'source-branch' into target-branch`

Currently, I am editing the commit message after the merge.

Yes,

A default merge message is a must.

This is a major pain in the backside.

I'd love to be able to set a _default_ _merge_ _message_, that's a lot less verbose and lose the apostrophes.

Not edit it one-by-one; set a default.

Loosely related to a the general request for custom commit message templates, see e.g.
