There was a problem hiding this comment.
Cool 👍
BTW why is this happening mainly on worker, but not elsewhere? Because worker releases are so good that they don't need fixes? 😄

@fnesveda because apify-main does not directly merge with git. Instead a PR is created with the github API and merged immediately. (I wonder why it's different in the repos, maybe something to unify...) |

(primarily a problem in apify-worker) Sometimes a merge commit isn't created when syncing branches and the mainline gets fast-forwarded from master/main. This "breaks" history as the first parent of the fast-forwarded commit is now the master branch history.
For easily seeing the history with only actual feature commits I use
git log --oneline --first-parent- with fast-forward commits this breaks.The
--no-ffflag ensures that a merge commit is always created if there are commits to be synced from master -> develop.
