Wrong description for rebasing in Azure DevOps

[pascalberger]

What would you like help with?

I think I found a bug

How are you running Renovate?

Self-hosted

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

Azure DevOps

Please tell us more about your question or problem

In the configuration section of the PR description for Rebasing the following is written:

♻ Rebasing: Whenever PR becomes conflicted, or rename PR to start with "rebase!".

This sentence does not make sense. It should be:

♻ Rebasing: Whenever PR becomes conflicted, rename PR to start with "rebase!".

This seems to be caused by this string replace:

renovate/lib/modules/platform/azure/index.ts

Lines 815 to 818 in c5252a9

	.replace(
	'you tick the rebase/retry checkbox',
	'rename PR to start with "rebase!"',
	)

Probably also affects other platforms which have the same replace.

Code Commit:

renovate/lib/modules/platform/codecommit/index.ts

Lines 307 to 310 in c5252a9

	.replace(
	'you tick the rebase/retry checkbox',
	'rename PR to start with "rebase!"',
	)

Bitbucket Server:

renovate/lib/modules/platform/bitbucket-server/index.ts

Lines 1108 to 1111 in c5252a9

	.replace(
	'you tick the rebase/retry checkbox',
	'rename PR to start with "rebase!"',
	)

This is incorrect / a misunderstanding. The PR will be rebase if:

• it becomes conflicted, or
• the user renames it as described

[pascalberger]

@rarkins In this case IMHO rename is wrong and it should be something like:

♻ Rebasing: Whenever PR becomes conflicted, or PR is renamed to start with "rebase!".

[rarkins]

PR welcome to improve this wording (but not to change the meaning as originally proposed)

[pascalberger]

Great, will give a PR a try later
