The following ``merge-pull-request-by-three-way`` example merges and closes the specified pull request using the default options for conflict detail and conflict resolution strategy in a repository named ``MyDemoRepo``. ::

    aws codecommit merge-pull-request-by-three-way \
        --pull-request-id 47 \
        --source-commit-id 99132ab0EXAMPLE \
        --repository-name MyDemoRepo \
        --name "Maria Garcia" \
        --email "maria_garcia@example.com" \
        --commit-message "Merging pull request 47 by three-way with default options"
