 | `single-commit`    | This option can be toggled to `true` if you'd prefer to have a single commit on the deployment branch instead of maintaining the full history. **Using this option will also cause any existing history to be wiped from the deployment branch**.                                                                                                                           | `with` | **No**   |
 | `force`            | Force-push new deployments to overwrite the previous version; otherwise, attempt to rebase new deployments onto any existing ones. This option is turned on by default and can be toggled off by setting it to `false`, which may be useful if there are multiple deployments in a single branch.                                                                           | `with` | **No**   |
