This is powerful! It should automate the whole process of backporting commits to a large degree. In fact, this could be a more general tool and work also with backports for Gutenberg plugin releases if connected with a different label in the repo. |

@adamziel, can you share an update on where we are with this PR? I know you successfully used it 2-3 times to cherry-pick PRs for WordPress 6.0 RC releases. I didn't check the code very closely, but as long as it works that would be the last of my concerns. As we wrap up the WP 6.0 release cycle tomorrow, what do you think about documenting in-depth how the script works today, what tools/permissions are required to run this script? We could land the script as-is with the inline documentation included (or maybe even pre-requisites printed on the terminal), then we would have to explain the usage in the documents used by release technical leads. Finally, it would be great to share some recommendations with how to improve the script in the future. |

@gziolo Indeed, it works really well now!
Here's what
Sample output looks as follows:
I just added the inline documentation 👍
The context around the
Sounds perfect, let's team up on a doc that will also discuss the other automations like releasing npm packages and syncing Gutenberg packages and blocks to the wordpress-develop repository.
A few ideas:

This looks fan-tas-tic 💯 I understand there is no testing environment for this, and the only way to try it is whenever Backports are needed. Is that correct? If so, I would agree with @gziolo's plan above as the 6.0.0 release cycle is over. |

That's correct! Well, perhaps we could fabricate a testing environment:
The downside is that random PRs would get the backport label for a few minutes. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Excellent work @adamziel. Let's land it so we could start using it with 6.0.x releases.
The only thing that I found a bit unclear was how to pass the different labels depending on the type of the release but I figured out it's covered with this line:
const LABEL = process.argv[2] || "Backport to WP Minor Release";Did you find a place in the documentation where we could include some guidelines how to use this new tool?

@gziolo These two make good candidates: |

Excellent, that would be the next task when we wrap up the last piece of work: |
