@matmair LMK what you think of this. Making the backporting process easier will mean we can merge bug fixes in and quickly patch to the stable branch too |
|
How does this work with solving merge conflicts? |
|
I think if there are merge conflicts it will error out and we'd have to do it manually anyway |
|
Closing this out, as I have discoverd that the automatic release notes only work with PRs, not commits. So back-porting like this will not generate any release notes for bugfix releases. I will have to continue to manually cherry-pick each bug fix onto the stable branch and create a duplicate PR, in order to get the automated release notes |
|
@SchrodingersGat Why not letting this bot create the prs? |
|
@wolflu05 I misread the docs for this workflow and thought it would merge directly into the target branch, but reading the docs correctly I see it will actually create a PR. So,.let's give it a go. |
