SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill coordinates merging multiple pull requests into a temporary integration branch to validate changes together before updating the base branch.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Determine the default base branch and create a temporal branch from its tip.
  • Enumerate PRs, resolve merge order based on dependencies or explicit user input, and merge sequentially with conflict handling.
  • Run builds/tests on the temporal branch and report results without altering the base branch.

Quick Start

Provide the base branch and the set of PR branches to merge to begin the temporal merge workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate multiple pull requests together before merging to the base branch?

You can validate multiple pull requests together by merging them into a temporal integration branch. This staging branch runs builds and tests to check inter-PR dependencies and surface conflicts before affecting the base branch.

What is a temporal branch in Git and when do I need it for merge conflicts?

A temporal branch is a temporary integration branch created from the base branch tip. You need it to sequentially merge multiple PRs, handle conflicts in isolation, and ensure a clean base before final integration.

How do I determine the merge order for multiple PRs with dependencies?

Merge order for multiple PRs is determined by resolving inter-PR dependencies or using explicit user input. The Skill enumerates PRs and sequentially merges them onto the temporal branch with conflict handling.

Can I run CI CD builds and tests on a staging branch without altering the main branch?

Yes, you can run builds and tests on a temporal staging branch without altering the main branch. The workflow creates a temporal branch, merges PRs sequentially, and reports validation results before any base branch update.

What's the best way to handle merge conflicts across multiple pull requests before integration?

The best way to handle merge conflicts across multiple PRs is ordered merging on a temporal branch. This approach surfaces conflicts during sequential merges and applies conflict handling before the base branch is affected.

Why does merging pull requests sequentially fail when inter-PR dependencies are not validated?

Merging fails when inter-PR dependencies are not validated because conflicting changes break the build. Creating a temporal branch to merge and validate PRs sequentially surfaces these conflicts before they affect the base branch.
