-## Project merge method
-
-There are currently three options for `merge_method` to choose from:
-
-* `merge`:
-  A merge commit is created for every merge, and merging is allowed as long as there are no conflicts.
-
-* `rebase_merge`:
-  A merge commit is created for every merge, but merging is only allowed if fast-forward merge is possible.
-  This way you could make sure that if this merge request would build, after merging to target branch it would also build.
-
-* `ff`:
-  No merge commits are created and all merges are fast-forwarded, which means that merging is only allowed if the branch could be fast-forwarded.
