GitHub PR Merge Method bởi Alexis LPZ

Automatically select the correct merge method (squash/merge/rebase) for your GitHub pull requests based on custom rules.

Never Use the Wrong Merge Method Again

Tired of accidentally using the wrong merge strategy on GitHub pull requests? This extension automatically selects your preferred merge method (Squash, Merge, or Rebase) based on rules you define for each repository and branch.

WHY YOU NEED THIS

GitHub doesn't let you set default merge methods per branch or repository. This leads to common mistakes:
• Accidentally squashing when you meant to preserve commit history
• Using merge commits when you wanted a clean, squashed commit
• Forgetting your team's merge conventions for different branches

This extension solves all of that automatically.

KEY FEATURES

✨ Automatic Selection - Opens any GitHub PR? Your preferred merge method is already selected
🎯 Rule-Based - Set different methods for different repos and branches
💾 Import/Export - Backup your rules or share them with your team
🔒 100% Private - All data stays in your browser, nothing is sent anywhere
⚡ Lightweight - No impact on your browsing speed

HOW IT WORKS

1. Define your rules: "For repository X, branch Y, use method Z"
2. Open any GitHub pull request
3. The correct merge method is automatically selected
4. Review and merge with confidence

That's it. No more mistakes.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLES

Example 1: Clean Main Branch
• All PRs to "main" → Squash (one clean commit per feature)
• Keeps your main branch history readable

Example 2: Preserve Release History
• PRs to "release/*" branches → Merge (keep full commit history)
• Perfect for audit trails and debugging

Example 3: Linear Development
• PRs to "develop" → Rebase (clean, linear history)
• Makes git history easier to follow
