Features

• 🔄 Automated Synchronization: Ensures forks are updated by automatically
  creating pull requests to integrate new changes from upstream
• ⚙️ Flexible Configuration: Customize sync behavior through
  .github/pull.yml configuration to accommodate different merge strategies,
  including merge, squash, rebase, and hard reset
• 🕒 Scheduled Updates: Regularly checks for upstream changes periodically
  to ensure forks are always up-to-date
• 👥 Team Integration: Facilitates collaboration by automatically adding
  assignees and reviewers to pull requests, honoring branch protection rules and
  working seamlessly with pull request checks and reviews
• 🚀 Enterprise Ready: Supports GitHub Enterprise Server, ensuring a smooth
  integration process for enterprise-level projects

Prerequisites

• Upstream must be in the same fork network.
• ⚠️ Make a backup if you’ve made changes.

Getting Started

⭐ Star this project (Highly recommended, starred users may
receive priority over other users)

Basic Setup

• Just install
  Pull app.

Pull app will automatically watch and pull in upstream’s default (master) branch
to yours using hard reset periodically. You can also manually
trigger it anytime.

Advanced Configuration (with config file)

1. Create a new branch.

2. Setup the new branch as default branch under repository Settings > Branches.

3. Add .github/pull.yml to your default branch.

   Most Common

   (behaves the same as Basic Setup)

   version: "1"
   rules:
     - base: master
       upstream: wei:master # change `wei` to the owner of upstream repo
       mergeMethod: hardreset
   

   Advanced usage

   version: "1"
   rules: # Array of rules
     - base: master # Required. Target branch
       upstream: wei:master # Required. Must be in the same fork network.
       mergeMethod: hardreset # Optional, one of [none, merge, squash, rebase, hardreset], Default: none.
       mergeUnstable: false # Optional, merge pull request even when the mergeable_state is not clean. Default: false
     - base: dev
       upstream: master # Required. Can be a branch in the same forked repo.
       assignees: # Optional
         - wei
       reviewers: # Optional
         - wei
       conflictReviewers: # Optional, on merge conflict assign a reviewer
         - wei
   label: ":arrow_heading_down: pull" # Optional
   conflictLabel: "merge-conflict" # Optional, on merge conflict assign a custom label, Default: merge-conflict
   

4. Go to https://pull.git.ci/check/${owner}/${repo} to validate your
   .github/pull.yml.

5. Install
   Pull app.

Trigger Manually

You can manually trigger Pull by going to
https://pull.git.ci/process/${owner}/${repo}.

For Upstream Repository Owners

For the most common use case (a single master branch), you can just direct
users to install Pull with no configurations. If you need a more advanced setup
(such as a docs branch in addition to master), consider adding
.github/pull.yml to your repository pointing to yourself (see example). This
will allow forks to install Pull and stay updated automatically.

Example (assuming owner is your user or organization name):

version: "1"
rules:
  - base: master
    upstream: owner:master
    mergeMethod: hardreset
  - base: docs
    upstream: owner:docs
    mergeMethod: hardreset
