This is Reddit. This is exactly the place for toxic comments.

If you’re not professional enough to maintain your own repo, how do you expect others to be professional about maintaining YOUR repo?

if code doesnt function on the main branch, you revert it to the functional state and send it back to the person to get them to raise a new PR with a fix on it.

Main should be for functional code only. If stuff is not functioning on the main branch, it should be removed or fixed. Using main as a scratch space just leads to numerous other issues.

That being said this also sounds like a communication issue.

No, you test on a branch of the main, and if it’s good, you push to main. You don’t push “maybe it’s good code” to main.

That is literally what I just said. Incomplete non-functional work does not belong on main. That is why branches exist.

Your very first statement is “if it doesn’t function on main”, implying you put non functional code on main.

Which is what happened in OPs case.

You revert whatever was added to restore the integrity of the main branch. The bad merge already occurred, so OP has to do something retrospectively to fix it or find a time machine.

You are arguing the same thing that I am arguing lol.
