This question came from @davidguttman via Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/davidguttman/status/1386374058321743874

I've seen that question came up several times. I know there are existing GitHub Apps and GitHub Actions out there that can rebase open pull requests, but I think the topic comes up often enough to dive into it and explore how it works.

In order to turn this into a show, I think we should

• research the existing ready-to-use apps, actions, and other tooling for rebasing a PR on GitHub
• Come up with a specific use case / scope that we could accomplish in a 30 minute show

@davidguttman what would be a good use case for yourself? We could set the goal to create an app that folks can install, an action that folks can setup, or a script that folks can use in their custom GitHub Actions workflow. Should it rebase all open pull requests after a push to the default branch, or only a subset? What should it do if it failed to do a rebase?
