我可以在Github合并提交中获得完整的请求请求文本吗？

Question

Let's say I have a pull request on github. I've spent a tonne of time on it and so enter a long, meaningful description for the PR explaining exactly what happened and why:

Immanentises the eschaton.

This eschaton is righteously immanentised by to rapidly
frobnicating the plurglewhatsits.

I then merge the pull request and it's done.

Then, when I look at my git log, I see this:

Merge pull request #19284 from davidgiven/whadjamacallit

Immanentises the eschaton.

Only the first line makes it into the merge commit; the meaningful body which I put so much time into writing is lost.

(Yes, it's still available via Github, but it's not in the repository , which is what I care about.)

Is there a way to configure github to copy the entire pull request description into the merge commit?

No, as GitHub uses by default a git merge --log , where aa shortlog of the commits being merged will be appended to the specified message.

That is a convention you would find on the repository for Git itself, where:

• one merge commit (like 74ae065 ) has a fairly detailed subject message
• one commit from the merged branch (like 6163f3f ) has a huge detailled message.
