Gitlab set the merge request to use rebase instead of merge [duplicate]

Question

Gitlab does a merge operation every time it merges, which seems very annoying. And there is no rebase button option. How do I set it up?

Answer 1

Take a look at Settings -> General -> Merge requests. Here you can configure the merge options. If you configure a fast-forward merge, no merge commit is created and you get the rebase option if a merge conflict exists.

See detailed explanation of these options in the documentation.
