This check is applicable if you have configured to trigger the build run when you commit the changes to a code repository.
  
  Merge strategy: Configure a list of merge strategies that are provided to users when they merge a PR. Available merge strategies to configure are:
  
  Merge commit (Enabled by default): Merge commit is created, even if the source branch is up-to-date with the target branch.
  
  Fast-forward: Merge commit is created if the source branch is out of date with the target branch. Else, the target branch is updated to the latest commit on the source branch.
  
  Fast-forward only: The merge request is rejected, if the source branch is out of date with the target branch. Else, the target branch is updated to the latest commit on the source branch.
  
  Rebase and fast-forward: Source branch changes are committed onto the target branch, creating a new commit. The new commits are fast-forwarded, which doesn't impact the pull request branch.
  
  Squash: All commits are combined to form a single commit on the target branch.
