How We Do It
If this title does not ring a bell, you might need to read first what a merge queue is, what problem speculative checks solve, and how mixing speculative checks and batching can save you a lot of time. Go ahead. We'll wait. Now that you have an idea
Product Features
In every engineering team, developers want to see their "ready to merge" work landing as soon as possible into their source code repository. Nobody wants to wait, and this directly impacts the velocity of the team. The worst part of the merging process would be to have to
Product Features
Today, we are pleased to announce the general availability of the Mergify API. This has been one of our focuses over the last months, as it has been one of the most requested features from our beloved users. We are thrilled to release it and are eager to add more
Product Features
Pull requests are an essential part of the GitHub workflow. While they are mainly used as a way to merge your code into the base branch, it is not their only purpose. What if you wanted to create a prototype of a feature you would like to implement, just to
Product Features
When Mergify started to automate pull request merges, users expressed rapidly the need for having a way to keep their pull requests updated. We soon introduced the strict mode [https://docs.mergify.com/actions/merge/#strict-merge] for the merge action, offering pull request merge serialization. This was our first, very
How We Do It
Last month, we announced [https://blog.mergify.com/announcing-time-based-conditions/] a new set of conditions for Mergify rules based on time. You can now use a time and date and compare pull request attributes to dates and times. We had the idea for this feature since the beginning of Mergify, but

Product Features
Do you happen to know the common point between the open-source Node.js and Rust projects, the sporty social network Strava, the e-commerce company Shopify and the ride-hailing company Uber? Their engineering team all rely on a merge queue. Well, if you never heard of such a concept, you might
Technical
We all knew it was going to happen anyway. GitHub just pulled the plug and removed Dependabot Preview. Dependabot was absorbed by GitHub 2 years ago now, and it seemed logical to phase out the Preview version of it. More than 30,000 organizations relied on this fabulous tool to
Best Practices
It can be tedious and frustrating merging so many pull requests when you have a large open-source project and several developers working on it at once. All that merging takes up your valuable time. You have to review code yourself—or assign people to it—and rebase your branches periodically,
Achievements
Today we're happy to announce the general availability of our new merge queues feature. This unique functionality allows engineering teams to secure their code merge by serializing them while parallelizing their testing. If your team never used a merge automation tool nor a merge queue, this is a
