[QUESTION] Update branch with rebase

[mrpandat]

Hi,

Thank you for this amazing bot !

I would like to know if there is a way to avoid the merge commit when autosquash update the branch. Can i specify the update method (like merge/rebase) in the configuration ?

Example:

Thank you :)

Hi,

Autosquash uses the same API GitHub calls when you click on the "Update branch" button and this endpoint only supports merge commits. There is a request to change that: isaacs/github#1419 but it's unclear whether it will happen or not.

Anyway, I believe doing a merge commit is the right thing to do in that case (see the README) so even if this was possible I would probably stick to the current merge behavior.

Why do you think a rebase, or another behavior would be best?

Hey,

Thanks for the quick reply !

In my case, we are 10+ developers on the project, and the CI take more than 30 minutes to finish , so sometimes we have to update the branch multiple times before it get merged, it means multiple merge update commit..

I think it would be nice to make this as an option (if isaacs/github#1419 is ready).
