Smart Merge to Temporal Branch

Merge multiple PRs into a temporal integration branch for validation before merging to base.

Process

1. Detect base branch: Identify the default branch via git remote show origin or repo conventions.

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

3. Create temporal branch: Fetch latest and branch from the remote base tip.

   git fetch origin
   git checkout -b temporal/<timestamp> origin/<base>
   

4. Determine merge order:

   • If the user specifies an order, use that.
   • Otherwise, compute dependency/topological order (if PR B depends on PR A, merge A first).
   • If PRs are independent with no clear ordering, present the list and ask the user to confirm or reorder before proceeding.
