Merge a pull request

## Synopsis

```text
Merge a pull request on Gitea.

Without a method, gt uses the repository's default merge style. On a terminal, leaving out
the method or --delete-branch asks for them, preselecting the repository's defaults. With
--delete-branch, gt also deletes the local head branch when it is checked out, switching to
the base branch.

--delete-branch deletes the head branch of a pull request from a fork too, when you can push
to that fork: your own, or any as a site administrator. A fork you cannot push to keeps it.
```

```
gt pr merge [<number> | <url> | <branch>] [flags]
```

## Examples

```
# Merge the pull request of the current branch with the repository's default style
$ gt pr merge

# Squash #13 and delete its branch
$ gt pr merge 13 --squash --delete-branch

# Merge once the checks pass, without prompts
$ gt pr merge 13 --auto --yes
```
