I don't see anything specific about creating and pushing a series : 9. Contributing Code to DPDK — Data Plane Development Kit 25.07.0 documentation

The only mention to a series above seems to use the depends-on tag.

Thanks

Hi Sameer,

When you have dependent patches, you should send them as a series.
Automation runs on the last patch in the series only.
Currently it is not handling depends-on tag. It is for reviewers for now.
