Disabling `Update branch` button

Think we can disable this update branch button (image below) from PR on this repo settings. This button is just adding some noisy to all opened pull requests, because it enforces the branches to be up-to-date with master all the time, and we had to be requesting rebasing/squashes.

Button:

Example of the noisy:

Even when we disable the button, Github will guarantee to use integrity of the code. And also, it will tell us when there’s a conflict between branches, the we can act directly on it before merge. Otherwise, there’s no need to be up-to-date with master all the time.

Any update here? I’d like to see the option of enforcing this without the button present. Devs can rebase on their local and push rather than use the button.

@rsp we don’t “disable” the button as you may be thinking, we just remove the check forcing branches to be up-to-date with master. Personally, I prefer to keep this ON, but as @luisfmsouza said, it adds some misunderstanding on novice people and difficult contributions with some kind of invisible contribute wall rule!

So far, so good! We had no problems without this option 🙂
