Description
Github supports automerging of PRs when CI checks and other requirements are met. Using stack-pr with automerging means the full PR description, including the links to the other PRs in the stack will get merged in the main branch. The alternative I am requesting is to save the PR links to a comment in the just opened PR. This will be the first comment given the PR was just opened, so no risk there. This will keep the commit messages clean.
This depends on the following setting being enabled:
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by locating the code path that creates a new GitHub PR and assembles its description, then trace how the stack links are generated. Done means the links are written to the first PR comment instead of the description while the stated setting is enabled; check the repository's existing tests for the relevant behavior.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
