What problem does it solve?
Cherry-picking changes from a GitHub PR onto a target release branch to create a traceable backport branch, enabling stable bugfixes and feature backports without manual, error-prone workflows.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Create a backport branch with the ai-backport- prefix to clearly identify the backport scope and source PR.
- Cherry-pick all commits from the PR onto the target branch, track progress, and report outcomes including conflicts, skips, and touched files.
- Use cases include backporting fixes to release branches (e.g., v25.1.x, v25.2.x) or backporting changes from dev/main to a versioned branch.
Quick Start
Provide the TARGET release branch or commit and the PR number to initiate the backport; the system will create the backport branch and perform the cherry-picks automatically.
