## Overview

Auto Assign helps teams quickly resolve issues by automatically assigning them to the most likely responsible developers. It uses [suspect commits][1] to identify developers who may have introduced issues, then assigns the issue directly to the developer who made those commits. When an issue is automatically assigned to a developer, they receive an immediate notification.
