Release-Please PR Workflow

Expert knowledge for managing release-please PRs in monorepos, including batch merging, conflict handling, and iterative processing.

Core Workflow

Release-please creates separate PRs per component in monorepos (when separate-pull-requests: true). These PRs often need sequential merging due to shared manifest file updates.

Iterative Merge Process

1. List pending PRs with status
2. Merge clean PRs (MERGEABLE status)
3. Handle conflicting PRs (close for recreation)
4. Wait for recreation and repeat
5. Verify completion when no PRs remain
