- Line 137: Update the contributor guidance for replacing unsigned commits to
allow rewriting them with signed commits and force-pushing the rewritten history
to the existing PR branch when permitted; do not require opening a new PR.

site:docs.github.com signed commits unsigned commits pull request rewrite sign commits force push existing branch ruleset
💡 Result:
GitHub’s docs indicate:
- **If a branch requires signed commits, unsigned commits can block a push or PR merge.** For a PR, GitHub checks commits introduced by its test merge—including commits on the PR’s head branch—so even a squash merge can be blocked. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-rulesets/available-rules-for-rulesets?ref=jscarle.dev&utm_source=openai))
- **Fix:** rewrite and sign the unsigned commits on the PR branch, then push the rewritten history. GitHub specifically says this may require a **force push**. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-rulesets/available-rules-for-rulesets?ref=jscarle.dev&utm_source=openai))
- **Force-push permission is a separate rule.** Protected branches block force pushes by default; an admin must allow them (and possibly limit who can use them). Rulesets can also block force pushes or allow designated bypass actors. Allowing a force push does **not** bypass the signed-commit requirement. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-protected-branches/about-protected-branches?ref=the-mergify-blog&utm_source=openai))
- **Existing branch nuance:** when updating a branch, GitHub checks all commits in the specified range. Rulesets and branch protection differ when *creating* a branch, but that distinction doesn’t exempt commits when updating one. ([docs.github.com](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-rulesets/available-rules-for-rulesets?ref=jscarle.dev&utm_source=openai))
So, if the existing PR branch has unsigned commits, the documented path is to sign/rewrite them and force-push **if permitted**; otherwise, someone with applicable bypass permission may be able to merge.

Keep the existing PR when replacing unsigned commits.
GitHub supports rewriting unsigned commits with signatures and force-pushing the rewritten history to the existing PR branch, when force-pushes are permitted. A new PR is not inherently required. Disabling rebase-merge only removes that merge method.
Suggested wording
- Re-create such a branch with signed commits (`git cherry-pick -S`) and open a new PR.
+ Rewrite the unsigned commits with signatures (`git cherry-pick -S`) and force-push the rewritten history to the existing PR branch.📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Update the contributor guidance for replacing unsigned commits to allow
rewriting them with signed commits and force-pushing the rewritten history to
the existing PR branch when permitted; do not require opening a new PR.
