Somewhat unpopular opinion: I don’t like merge commits. More, I don’t like that GitHub doesn’t have a feature for fast-forward only merges.

isn't it in the merge settings for the repo?

Nope. GitHub has only 3 options: merge commit, squash (ewww) and rebase and merge. The latter I like but having FF-only would be useful too.

Aaah I see, yeah it does always imply the rebase. I think Gitlab lets you require FF-merge

I think github actions are a tad better than gitlab-ci pipelines; but it's a close-run thing :D I have some projects on GH and some on GL.
