## What is Merge Inspector?

Merge Inspector provides additional functionality for pull requests on the code you write and review, through a Safari extension integrating with the pull request UI.

Merge Inspector adds a ‘Fast-forward merge’ button to the merge box on pull requests in Safari. This fast-forwards the destination branch of the pull request to the PR's commit, with no merge commit nor squashing. History stays linear and no commits are rewritten, hashes remain the same. The PR UI shows the pull request as merged just like any other merge!

Requires a GitHub token which the app stores in Keychain (iCloud Keychain if enabled). Merge Inspector isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by GitHub.
