Git Rebase Pull Request

Merge the current pull request into main using a local rebase workflow that maintains linear history with signed commits.

What This Does

1. Validates pull request is ready (open, mergeable, CI passes, approved, threads resolved)
2. Syncs local main with origin/main
3. Rebases pull request branch onto main
4. Fast-forward merges into main
5. Pushes to origin/main with signed commits (auto-closes PR)
6. Cleans up branches and worktree

Usage

/rebase-pr

Why Not gh pr merge?

GitHub's gh pr merge command does not sign commits, which is incompatible with repositories requiring commit signatures. This command uses local git operations to maintain proper commit signing throughout the merge process.

Full Workflow

See Git Rebase Workflow Skill for complete step-by-step instructions and edge case handling.

Prerequisites

• Current branch must have an associated open pull request
• All CI checks must pass on the pull request
• All review threads must be resolved
• Pull request must be approved (or review not required)
• Git configured with commit signing (if required by repository)
