Mergify makes dev processes lightweight
What do you like best about Mergify?
Personally, I love automatic approvals. Our repositories need to be kept in sync, so we have robots opening PRs that bump dependency versions into specific files. It happens at least on a daily basis. We configured Mergify to automatically approve and merge the PR if CI remains green. We used to have people do it manually. It saves a bunch of time!
What problems is Mergify solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mozilla uses Mergify for some of our small to medium-sized projects, the largest being Firefox for Android. The source code of Firefox has historically been hosted outside of Github. Although 4 years ago, we decided to move the code of Firefox for Android to Github.
Initially, we started with a startup mindset with very few processes. As the project gained momentum, we began to bring processes close to the ones we have on Firefox desktop. Mergify helped us to automate the last mile thanks to its merge queue, automatic approvals, and backports.
