Misc #16094
Updated by k0kubun (Takashi Kokubun) over 5 years ago
## Problem * Our pull request merge strategy confuses contributors, as described in [Misc #16093]. * In [Misc #16093], some committers did not like accepting a merge commit. ## Solution * Allow using GitHub's "Rebase and merge" (suggested by @marcandre) and "Squash and merge" (for editing a commit message as needed) to committers * Disable "Create a merge commit" in GitHub repository settings, to avoid concerns found in [Misc #16093]. * Also prohibit pushes to the master branch which are not coming from a pull request by requiring CI in GitHub repository settings. * To allow looking up an associated GitHub pull request from git commands, add `git notes` to "Rebase and merge"d commits in git.ruby-lang.org post-receive hook. (suggested by @nobu) * Perform GitHub bidirectional sync on git.ruby-lang.org update pre-receive hook, and accept a push if it does not conflict with "Rebase and merge" on GitHub. ## Notes * Even after implementing this ticket, the Ruby's canonical Git repository will continue to be git.ruby-lang.org as is. * All committers must push non-pull-request commits to git.ruby-lang.org. Direct pushes to GitHub will continue to be disabled. * This approach has one drawback; `git push` to git.ruby-lang.org might block longer than now.
