+1 "Never merge with GitHub... I don’t feel that I have the proper control"
Maybe it's PEBCAC, and to be fair it is documented[0], but the big red warning in the docs is missing from the page where you actually do the action. To make it more confusing there's also a disabled 'Merge pull request' button that implies that resolving the conflicts and merging the PR are separate actions
