This simple script may help you deal with pull requests coming to your GitHub repositories from robots:

$ gem install mergem

Then, run it locally and read its output:

$ mergem --repo yegor256/mergem --verbose --token <YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN>

First, it will find all pull requests in yegor256/mergem GitHub repository, which were not yet discussed by the owner of the token. Then, it will ignore those pull requests that are coming not from Renovate or Dependabot. Then, it will post @rultor merge text message to each pull request left in the list.

mergem requires a GitHub token to be passed via the --token option. To obtain one, go to your GitHub account, then navigate to "Settings," and then to "Developer Settings" (or simply use the link.)

You can create a classic token with the public_repo ("Access public repositories") scope. It will grant mergem all the necessary permissions to read and write comments on repositories.

Another option is to create a fine-grained token with "All Repositories" access. In this case, you will need to assign the following permissions to the token:

• Issues, "Read and write"
• Pull requests, "Read and write"
• Contents, "Read and write"

Please note that fine-grained tokens might encounter issues with repositories not owned by you or owned by an organization. In such cases, you may need to obtain additional approval from the organization.

During the beta, organizations must opt in to fine-grained personal access tokens. If your organization has not already opted-in, then you will be prompted to opt-in and set policies when you follow the steps below.

You can find information about setting a personal access token policy for your organization right here.

Read these guidelines. Make sure you build is green before you contribute your pull request. You will need to have Ruby 2.3+ and Bundler installed. Then:

$ bundle update
$ bundle exec rake

If it's clean and you don't see any error messages, submit your pull request.

In order to run a single test:

$ bundle exec ruby test/test_askrultor.rb
