On MiNiFi C++, I usually use this script I developed over time:
https://github.com/szaszm/verify-nifi-release/blob/master/bin/minificpp-merge-pr.sh
On NiFi, I followed the same steps manually for my recent commit.
- look up pull request by id using the github API
- get the author, title and description from the pull request
- rebase the PR branch to main
- squash merge to main (roughly equivalent to a cherry-pick for single
commits)
- set author and commit message based on info from the PR
- signoff, GPG sign
- push to github (not git-*.apache.org)

I'm writing to ask NiFi committers about their current best practice for
committing PRs to git. What process do you use?
I admit I use a very old command-line process to commit, based on the
Contributor Guide [1], including manual squash, cherry-pick to main, push
to git-wip-us.apache.org. There has to be a better way now.
