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 label)
Assigining new issues to individual component authors.

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.

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.
Fetches the latest PR code from the angular/angular repo.
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 angular/pr/1234~1..angular/pr/1234
   git filter-branch -f --msg-filter "/home/misko/angular/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 patch branch up to date.

Check out the most recent patch branch: git checkout 4.3.x
Get a list of PRs merged into master: git log master --oneline -n10
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
