To git pull with a custom commit message, you can follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you are in the branch you want to pull changes into. You can use the command git checkout branch_name to switch to the desired branch.
  2. Use the command git pull origin branch_name to pull the latest changes from the remote repository. This command will automatically merge the changes into your local branch.
  3. If you want to add a custom commit message to the merge commit, you can use the --edit option when pulling. This will open up a text editor for you to edit the commit message. For example, you can use the command git pull --edit to pull changes with a custom commit message.
  4. In the text editor that opens, you can modify the commit message as desired. Once you are done editing the message, save and exit the editor.
  5. After saving the commit message, the pull operation will be completed with your custom commit message.


By following these steps, you can pull changes from a remote repository with a custom commit message in Git.
