Smart Merge to Base Branch

Merge one or more PRs into the base branch (main/master) using queue-like sequencing.

Process

1. Detect base branch: Identify the default branch (main, master, or repo-specific) via git remote show origin or repo conventions.

2. Enumerate PRs: List all PRs to merge. For each, fetch the latest HEAD.

3. Create checkpoint: Record the current base branch tip as a rollback point.

   CHECKPOINT=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
   

4. Create integration branch: Work on a temporary branch to validate before touching base.

   git checkout -b merge-queue/<timestamp> <base>
