+# Patching SQL Parser for LakeSail
+
+1. Use `dev` as the base branch when creating PRs in the fork.
+2. Please confirm the base repository when creating PRs. You should manually choose `lakehq/sqlparser-rs` when proposing changes to the fork.
+3. For patching, use a squash commit to merge the PR. This ensures that each patch appears as a single commit in the `dev` branch of the fork.
+4. For merging from upstream, use a merge commit to merge the PR. This ensures that the upstream history is kept in the `dev` branch of the fork.
+5. Please avoid mixing code changes and upstream merge in a single PR.
