That sounds ok to me, we should just ensure that commits are squashed and rebased on top of the main/master branch.

(also, the commit title and description should inherit the PR's corresponding fields)

Hi,

How about using GitHub API instead of local "git merge" to
merge a pull request?


We use local "git merge" to merge a pull request in
dev/merge_arrow_pr.py.

If we use "git merge" to merge a pull request, GitHub's Web
UI shows "Closed" mark not "Merged" mark in a pull request
page. This sometimes confuses new contributors. "Why was my
pull request closed without merging?" See
https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12004#issuecomment-1031619771
for example.

If we use GitHub API
https://docs.github.com/en/rest/pulls/pulls#merge-a-pull-request
to merge a pull request, GitHub's Web UI shows "Merged" mark
not "Closed" mark. See
https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/13180 for example. I
used GitHub API to merge the pull request.

And we don't need to create a local branch on local
repository to merge a pull request. But we must specify
ARROW_GITHUB_API_TOKEN to run dev/merge_arrow_pr.py.
