Hi! I am trying to enable CI Settings in the Merge Queue. I've added the Graphite app as a bypass in my rulesets (NOT classic branch protection), and the automatic check then won't pass and allow me to enable CI Settings. Okay, I think, that means I need a classic branch protection... but, the dialog is very confusing in that case: "Add this via classic branch protection rule or as a ruleset in GitHub and try again. Note: if you choose to use a ruleset, Graphite will not be able to validate your configuration." I chose a ruleset. Graphite can't validate. Thus I cannot turn it on? 🙂 Thanks!

hey Mads, yeah you'll need to temporarily enable a classic branch protection, then you'll be able to enable the CI Settings and once saved in Graphite you can disable the classic branch protection.

Thanks!

you'd need to set it up. You could have an Automation apply it to all PRs by default, otherwise a user shared this GitHub Action workflow that has some sophisticated logic:

name: Linear - mark externally-merged when queued in Graphite

on:
  issue_comment:
    types: [created]

permissions: {}

jobs:
  label-externally-merged:
    permissions:
      pull-requests: write # Required to add labels to PRs
    steps:
      - name: Add externally-merged label
        uses: actions/github-script@3a2844b7e9c422d3c10d287c895573f7108da1b3 # v9.0.0
        with:
          github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          script: |
            if (!context.payload.issue.pull_request) return;

            const commentAuthor = context.payload.comment.user.login;
            if (commentAuthor !== 'graphite-app[bot]') return;

            const comment = context.payload.comment.body;
            const queuePhrase = 'added this pull request to the [Graphite merge queue]';
            if (!comment.includes(queuePhrase)) return;

            const prNumber = context.payload.issue.number;

            await github.rest.issues.addLabels({
              owner: context.repo.owner,
              repo: context.repo.repo,
              issue_number: prNumber,
              labels: ['externally-merged']
            });

Thanks
