Total Pull Requests Merged Without Rebase

How to Use It?

Review Branch Management Practices: Monitor the frequency of merges without rebase to assess the effectiveness of current branch management and integration strategies. This helps determine if practices need refinement to better support project integration flows.
Identify Potential Integration Issues: Use this metric to proactively detect possible integration conflicts that may arise from not rebasing, enabling preemptive measures to mitigate potential disruptions and maintain code integrity.
Enhance Training on Git Practices: Provide targeted training on Git practices based on insights from this metric, emphasizing the importance and benefits of rebasing to enhance project cohesiveness and reduce code conflicts.
Balance Speed and Stability: Analyze how avoiding rebase affects the project’s development velocity and stability. Aim to find an optimal balance that supports rapid development without compromising the structural integrity of the codebase.

Policy Adjustment: Consider implementing or adjusting policies that encourage or mandate rebasing where necessary to maintain a clean and linear project history.
Automated Tools: Leverage tools that automate branch management practices, including notifications and checks for rebasing requirements.
Regular Audits: Conduct periodic reviews to ensure compliance with revised integration practices and address any deviations promptly.
Feedback and Continuous Improvement: Use feedback from the development team to refine the approach to managing branches and rebasing, enhancing the effectiveness and acceptance of the practices over time.

Comprehensive Branch Management: Treat this metric as part of a broader set of branch management strategies to ensure a holistic approach to code integration and project flow.
