commit 66c4e26cd3a045186ec305a0b7706481e54d0319
Author: Nicholas Chammas <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Mon Aug 31 08:27:09 2026 -0400

    Remove merge script (#707)
    
    As  [proposed on the dev 
list](https://lists.apache.org/thread/zl37onhh2y2y9rxvpw38f3srxft0bn4c).
    
    What:
    - Remove merge script and associated documentation
    - Update repo settings to allow "squash + merge" only
    
    Why:
    - We already use GitHub's merge button often
    - Better to have only one way to merge PRs

 <h4>Merging website pull requests</h4>
 
-Pull requests to the Spark website (the
-<a href="https://github.com/apache/spark-website";>apache/spark-website</a> 
repository) are merged
-separately from the main Spark repo. Unlike `apache/spark`, this repository 
uses `asf-site` as its
-default branch, and there is no `master` branch.
+Pull requests to the [Spark website 
repo](https://github.com/apache/spark-website) are merged separately from the 
[main Spark repo](https://github.com/apache/spark). Unlike the main repo, the 
website uses `asf-site` as its default branch; there is no `master` branch.
 
-Website PRs are merged using the
-<a 
href="https://github.com/apache/spark-website/blob/asf-site/merge_pr.py";>merge_pr.py</a>
 script
-in the root of the `spark-website` repository, which squashes the pull 
request's changes into one
-commit, just like `merge_spark_pr.py` does for the main repo.
-
-To use it, set up remotes in your local clone of `spark-website` the same way 
as for the main repo:
-an `apache` remote (the default `PUSH_REMOTE_NAME`, used for pushing the 
squashed commit) and an
-`apache-github` remote (the default `PR_REMOTE_NAME`, used for pulling the 
change), both pointing at
-`[email protected]:apache/spark-website.git`. Then run the script from the 
repository root:
-
-```
-./merge_pr.py
-```
-
-The script is interactive and walks you through selecting the PR and pushing 
the merge to the
-`asf-site` branch. Before merging, make sure the pull request includes the 
regenerated HTML under
-`site/` in addition to the Markdown/HTML source changes; see the repository's 
`README.md` for how
-the site is built.
+The website repo does not use a merge script. Instead, use GitHub's "Squash 
and merge" button to merge PRs.
