Hi, Couple days ago we where discussing using a merge-bot to automate various things in from the workflow of Shell maintainers. The main features the bot provides is automating the merge and rebase of multiple MRs without human interaction (assuming MRs are approved), and annotating the commits with a link to the MR they were part of. Over on gitlab.freedesktop.org we have already deployed it for about a year and the bot has been working fine so far for both GStreamer and Mesa. Gitlab EE offers a similar functionality in the form of Merge Trains, but we are not sure if and when it will make it over to EE. Given that a third-party bot existed before they implemented the functionality themselves its luckily they will move it to Gitlab Core at some point to simplify the setup for everyone. Already asked about it in [this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/21267#note_384957147) Anyhow back to the bot. The project is hosted [here](https://github.com/smarkets/marge-bot) and seems kubernetes friendly. I 've been maintaining the GStreamer bot and wouldn't mind volunteering to help with this one either, though I've never used kube before, just docker. What we will need to set it up: * An account for the bot to use that has merge permissions in `gnome-shell` and `mutter` * An ssh key associated with the account * A token of the account with `api` and `read_user` permissions Here is an example config for the bot ```yaml # Adds the url of the MR to the commit msg add-part-of: true # These require gitlab admin privs and we don't really need them add-reviewers: false impersonate-approvers: false add-tested: false batch: false # Can make it so it only looks for the stable branches and main later # branch-regexp: .* ci-timeout: 180min git-timeout: 120s gitlab-url: 'https://gitlab.gnome.org' project-regexp: "gnome-shell|mutter" auth-token-file: '/configuration/secrets/marge-bot.token' # auth-token: '' ssh-key-file: '/configuration/secrets/marge-bot-ssh-key' # ssh-key: | # -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY----- # HELLO WORLD ``` cc @jadahl -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitLab: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/-/issues/464 You're receiving this email because of your account on gitlab.gnome.org.
