| `Releases <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases>`_, and |
| `Issue Tracking <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues>`_. |

| Backporting Fixes to the Release Branches |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| You can use special comments on issues to make backport requests for the |
| release branches. This is done by making a comment containing one of the |
| following commands on any issue that has been added to one of the "X.Y.Z Release" |
| milestones. |
| |
| :: |
| |
| /cherry-pick <commit> <commit> <...> |
| |
| This command takes one or more git commit hashes as arguments and will attempt |
| to cherry-pick the commit(s) to the release branch. If the commit(s) fail to |
| apply cleanly, then a comment with a link to the failing job will be added to |
| the issue. If the commit(s) do apply cleanly, then a pull request will |
| be created with the specified commits. |
| |
| :: |
| |
| /branch <owner>/<repo>/<branch> |
| |
| This command will create a pull request against the latest release branch using |
| the <branch> from the <owner>/<repo> repository. <branch> cannot contain any |
| forward slash '/' characters. |
