Feature Request: Only allow for --ff merges for PRs · community · Discussion #4618 Right now, the only way there is for --ff merges is to use the "Rebase and merge" method. However there's something not optimal with this method. Assuming a feature branch has the following history...

I can't believe @github.com still does not support fast-forward merges through their UI (like BitBucket has done for a long time).

Image depicting a complex AI algorithm vs. a traditional algorithm created with Human Intelligence (generated by Gemini)

I feel like the increased AI hype has more folks asking for an AI solution where a regular algorithm would be a better fit and likely cheaper. Sometimes "Actual Intelligence" (or Human Intelligence - HI) is the "AI" we need.
