Don't git commit -m "merge"

#git

git commit

And confirm full-blown commit message including merged branch name(s) and resolved conflicts. Bonus: learn about --no-ff flag.

Looks like Git doesn't have ci command, it must be an alias created on your system.

@growtofill Yeah, you're right. I'm too used to it.
