Sync fork with upstream repo without creating a PR commit

Question

When I start working on a new feature on a repo and I have an existing fork, I need to create a PR to sync my fork with the upstream repo. When I merge it into my fork, it creates a commit, which says something like

Merge pull request ... from master

When I fork a repo for the first time, I am able to get a fork without any new commits in it. So I am thinking that there should be a way for me to sync my repo without having to create an extra commit about the PR itself (other than whatever new change is already in upstream)

Is there a way to do it? If not, what is the rationale behind not being able to sync the repo through UI? (Just a feature that is not available?)

重新设置基准不会创建其他合并提交，因此我认为您可以这样做

git pull --rebase <remote>
