alt Hacker NewsI agree that this is annoying and unintuitive. But I don’t see the simplest solution here, so:
All you need to do is pull main, then do an interactive rebase with the next branch in your stack with ‘git rebase -i main’, then drop all the commits that are from the branch you just merged.

I typically prefix my commit messages with the ticket number to make it easier to spot the commits to drop.
This is what i often do, but i have never been able to get many coworkers onboard. In my experience I’d say less than 5% of all software folk i’ve worked with are willing to do an interactive rebase; everyone else finds it too scary
