Avoid gh merges with this one weird trick

if you use --dangerously-skip-permissions you need to add this to your .bashrc right now.

it'll block AI agents from merging PRs accidentally.

thank me later.

ps @github you need to separate merge from write permissions in PATs so agents can create PRs but not merge them. pic.twitter.com/p6LeexOrs0
