# Caretaker
|
||||
|
||||
Caretaker is responsible for merging PRs into the individual branches and internally at Google.
|
||||
|
||||
## Responsibilities
|
||||
|
||||
- Draining the queue of PRs ready to be merged. (PRs with [`PR action: merge`](https://github.com/angular/angular/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+label%3A%22PR+action%3A+merge%22) label)
|
||||
- Assigining [new issues](https://github.com/angular/angular/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+no%3Alabel) to individual component authors.
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
### Set `upstream` to fetch PRs into your local repo
|
||||
|
||||
Use this conmmands to configure your `git` to fetch PRs into your local repo.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
git remote add upstream git@github.com:angular/angular.git
|
||||
git config --add remote.upstream.fetch +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/upstream/pr/*
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Merging the PR
|
||||
|
||||
A PR needs to have `PR action: merge` and `PR target: *` labels to be considered
|
||||
ready to merge. Merging is performed by running `merge-pr` with a PR number to merge.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: before running `merge-pr` ensure that you have synced all of the PRs
|
||||
locally by running:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ git fetch upstream
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To merge a PR run:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ ./scripts/github/merge-pr 1234
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `merge-pr` script will:
|
||||
- Ensure that all approriate labels are on the PR.
|
||||
- That the current branch (`master` or `?.?.x` patch) mathches the `PR target: *` label.
|
||||
- It will `cherry-pick` all of the SHAs from the PR into the current branch.
|
||||
- It will rewrite commit history by automatically adding `Close #1234` and `(#1234)` into the commit message.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Recovering from failed `merge-pr` due to conflicts
|
||||
|
||||
When running `merge-pr` the script will output the commands which it is about to run.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ ./scripts/github/merge-pr 1234
|
||||
======================
|
||||
GitHub Merge PR Steps
|
||||
======================
|
||||
git cherry-pick upstream/pr/1234~1..upstream/pr/1234
|
||||
git filter-branch -f --msg-filter "/usr/local/google/home/misko/angular-pr/scripts/github/utils/github.closes 1234" HEAD~1..HEAD
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the `cherry-pick` command fails than resolve conflicts and use `git cherry-pick --continue` once ready. After the `cherry-pick` is done cut&paste and run the `filter-branch` command to properly rewrite the messages
|
||||
|
||||
## Cherry-picking PRs into patch branch
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to merging PRs into the master branch, many PRs need to be also merged into a patch branch.
|
||||
Follow these steps to get path brach up to date.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check out the most recent patch branch: `git checkout 4.3.x`
|
||||
2. Get a list of PRs merged into master: `git log master --oneline -n10`
|
||||
3. For each PR number in the commit message run: `././scripts/github/merge-pr 1234`
|
||||
- The PR will only merge if the `PR target:` matches the branch.
|
||||
|
||||
Once all of the PRs are in patch branch, push the all branches and tags to github using `push-upstream` script.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Pushing merged PRs into github
|
||||
|
||||
Use `push-upstream` script to push all of the branch and tags to github.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ ./scripts/github/push-upstream
|
||||
git push git@github.com:angular/angular.git master:master 4.3.x:4.3.x

||||

# Merging
|
||||
|
||||
Once a change has all the approvals either the last approver or the PR author (if PR author has the project collaborator status) should mark the PR with "PR: merge" label.
|
||||
This signals to the caretaker that the PR should be merged.
