Merge or accept a merge request.

## Synopsis

Defaults to the currently checked-out branch. When a pipeline is running,
auto-merge is enabled by default. Pass `--auto-merge=false` to
merge immediately. Use `--squash` or `--rebase` to control
the merge strategy, or `--remove-source-branch` to delete the
source branch after merging.

```plaintext
glab mr merge [<id | branch>] [flags]
```

## Aliases

## Examples

```console
# Merge a merge request
