Is this code written by GitHub employees? No wonder why so many down time with GitHub. Countless inconsistencies in this small piece of code
This doesn't affect me but I am curious if it's possible to download the PR and use local tools for the desired merge?
Sure. Download the branch and use git.
git checkout main
git merge --squash pr_branch
git commit -m "Commit message"This doesn't work if you have branch protection rules blocking pushes to main, which in my opinion should be standard on any repo
Nope. Pushing to main is only disallowed by default if you change history. A normal squash or rebase merge is allowed and should be allowed.
UI-only workflows are for dummies, they won't fly for larger projects

Oh I forgot about that. I mostly work on private repo (free account) so that feature isn't available to me.
I tried to shoot myself in the foot but Github broke the gun and it hit a firing range target instead, how did this reach production?

I thought I was going crazy before finding this bug. Hit this a few times this evening, very annoying.
