pass --squash to gh pr merge in dependabot auto-merge - #191
Merged
Conversation
main had a merge queue until 2026-07-30 14:09 (last merge_group run). gh pr merge skips the merge-strategy requirement only when the base branch requires a merge queue (shouldAddToMergeQueue in pkg/cmd/pr/merge/merge.go); otherwise a non-interactive call without --merge/--rebase/--squash is a flag error. Once the queue was disabled the step started failing at 14:20, so auto-merge was never enabled and bump PRs piled up. The repo allows squash only. If a merge queue is ever re-enabled, gh just warns that the queue sets the strategy, so this is safe either way.

The job failed on every dependabot PR from then on, so auto-merge was never enabled and bump PRs piled up (177, 185, 188, 189, 190 still open with tests green).
