Sobre merges de pull request
Você pode fazer merge de pull requests retendo todos os commits em um branch de recurso, combinando por squash todos os commits em um único commit ou fazendo rebase de commits individuais do branch 'head' no branch 'base'.
When you click the default Merge pull request option on a pull request on sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server, all commits from the feature branch are added to the base branch in a merge commit. The pull request is merged using the --no-ff option.
To merge pull requests, you must have write permissions in the repository.
Combinar por squash e fazer merge de commits da pull request
When you select the Squash and merge option on a pull request on sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server, the pull request's commits are squashed into a single commit. Instead of seeing all of a contributor's individual commits from a topic branch, the commits are combined into one commit and merged into the default branch. Pull requests with squashed commits are merged using the fast-forward option.
To squash and merge pull requests, you must have write permissions in the repository, and the repository must allow squash merging.
You can use squash and merge to create a more streamlined Git history in your repository. Work-in-progress commits are helpful when working on a feature branch, but they aren’t necessarily important to retain in the Git history. If you squash these commits into one commit while merging to the default branch, you can retain the original changes with a clear Git history.
Fazer rebase e merge dos commits da sua pull request
When you select the Rebase and merge option on a pull request on sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server, all commits from the topic branch (or head branch) are added onto the base branch individually without a merge commit. Pull requests with rebased commits are merged using the fast-forward option.
To rebase and merge pull requests, you must have write permissions in the repository, and the repository must allow rebase merging.
The rebase and merge behavior on GitHub Enterprise deviates slightly from git rebase. Rebase and merge on GitHub will always update the committer information and create new commit SHAs, whereas git rebase outside of GitHub does not change the committer information when the rebase happens on top of an ancestor commit. For more information about git rebase, see the "Git rebase" chapter from the Pro Git book.
For a visual representation of git rebase, see The "Git Branching - Rebasing" chapter from the Pro Git book.
Você não pode fazer rebase e merge automaticamente no sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server quando:
- A pull request tem conflitos de merge.
- O rebase dos commits do branch base no branch head se depara com conflitos.
- O rebase dos commits é considerado "não seguro"; por exemplo, quando é possível fazer rebase sem conflitos de merge, mas que geraria um resultado diferente daquele que um merge geraria.
Se ainda quiser fazer rebase dos commits, mas não puder fazer rebase e merge automaticamente no sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server, você deverá:
- Fazer rebase do branch de tópico (ou branch head) no branch base localmente na linha de comando
- Resolver qualquer conflito de merge na linha de comando.
- Forçar push dos commits com rebase no branch de tópico da pull request (ou branch head remoto).
Qualquer pessoa com permissões de gravação no repositório pode fazer merge das alterações usando o botão de rebase e merge no sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server.
