Additionally if you want the merge request to merge as soon as the pipeline succeeds you can do:
```shell
git push -o merge_request.create -o merge_request.target=my-target-branch -o merge_request.merge_when_pipeline_succeeds
```
## Useful Git aliases
As shown above, Git push options can cause Git commands to grow very long. If
you use the same push options frequently, it's useful to create [Git
aliases](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Git-Aliases). Git aliases
are command line shortcuts for Git which can significantly simplify the use of
long Git commands.
### Merge when pipeline succeeds alias
To set up a Git alias for the [merge when pipeline succeeds Git push
option](#push-options-for-merge-requests):
```shell
git config --global alias.mwps "push -o merge_request.create -o merge_request.target=master -o merge_request.merge_when_pipeline_succeeds"
```
Then to quickly push a local branch that will target master and merge when the
pipeline succeeds:
```shell
git mwps origin <local-branch-name>
```
