we rebase all branches on top of the target branch and only allow fast forward merges, which prevents any untested merge commits to cause issues and is really good for reading history. if there are changes to the target branch since the last rebase, there needs to be another rebase triggering automatic CI/CD. if there is a known bottleneck where this would happen a lot to a number of PRs and all the prs are green we rebase the prs on each other in the desired merge order just have to wait for the youngest PR to run through ci/cd and then can fast forward merge all at once.
