Feature Request: merge branch without creating a PR/MR

[daniilS]

Since 0.21.0 made it possible to push the changes from a branch directly to main, I was wondering if there's plans to also support the workflow (or if it's already possible) of directly merging a branch into main from the GUI, without having to creating and accept a PR/MR?

I primarily use gb for a project hosted on GitHub where I'm the sole developer, and I use feature branches to keep track of which commits belong together. Pushing directly to main would lose this information, but I'd also like to be able to cut out the extra steps of creating and approving my own PR each time I want to merge.

Thanks for bringing this up.

In the project settings there is the new "Land" feature that might just be what you are looking for.

Does that help?

That's the new feature from 0.21.0 that I meant - however it seems to just push all individual commits directly to main, rather than merging the feature branch.

I see - what you are after is a local-only workflow. Right now, it needs a remote, and "Land" will merge a workspace branch into the remote tracking branch of the workspace target, and it will push that as well.

If the remote is configured to be ., that naturally is never pushed either. But with my limited testing, it does seem to work.
Maybe there is something I am missing.
