omit merge commits when merging dependabot PR's?

Open simonblake-mp opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

When combine-prs merges dependabot PR's, the target branch ends up with a merge commit for each dependabot branch - so if three dependabot branches get merged, the resulting combined PR has six commits (three of which are merge commits), and then a fourth merge commit happens when the combined branch PR is merged to main:

The merge commits from the dependabot branches to the combined branch don't add a great deal of useful information - is there a way to suppress them in order to reduce the noise in the commit history? Perhaps cherrypicking the commits from the dependabot branches into the combined branch, rather than merging?
