Squashed Merge Message

Use Pull Request description as Squashed and Merged commit messages.

‼️ Support Notice ‼️

GitHub has native support for controlling the default merge message 🎉

See the GitHub announcement for details.

As such, I recommend all GitHub patrons use GitHub's default merge message feature instead of this web extension to both take advantage of native feature support and avoid any compatibility issues between this web extension and GitHub's implementation.

Support for Squashed Merge Message will continue until GitHub's default merge message feature is added to GitHub Enterprise. At that time, support for Squashed Merge Message will begin to sunset and eventually stop.

Thank you all for your support and contributions! 💙

Install
