Hi @sqren, github-backport works OK and indeed can be the best solution for huge git repos. However it has these drawbacks:
- It requires more than
2 * nrequests on the GitHub API wherenis the number of commits to backport so rate limiting can become an issue. - It creates multiple temporary branches on the repo and they can trigger unwanted CI builds.
- The underlying cherry-picking is not as good as the one offered by the Git CLI (See tibdex/github-cherry-pick#9). So it feels a bit like reinventing the wheel but ending with something a bit worse in some ways.
