+## 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.
