PRBot

What

The PRBot was created to automatically create a new pull request, when a merge-back was forgotten. For example; if a hotfix was made for version 1.1, it should also be merged back to your development branch. The PRBot should run every morning, to remind you what's still in need of a merge-back.

Requirements

In order to run the PRBot, you need to have the following available:

• A server with a CRON-job
• PHP 5.4 or higher
• Have the PHP CURL module enabled
• A Github account with READ access to the repositories you want to monitor

Once you downloaded all the files, make sure you run composer install with composer.

Configuration

Copy the dev/config.dist.php to dev/config.php, and edit the file to configure your setup.

<?php

return [
    'username' => 'myMergeBot', // Your github username
    'password' => 'somepass123', // Your github password
    // The title that will be used for your PRs, the first %s being the
    // branch to merge from, the second %s being the to branch to merge to.
    'prTitle' => 'Make sure that %s is in %s!',
    // Message the PRBot uses for the pull request:
    'prBody' => '![](https://heavyeditorial.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/thumbsup.gif)',
    'github' => [
        // http://github.com/SomeUserOrOrganisation/ProjectA
        'SomeUserOrOrganisation' => [
            'ProjectA' => [
                // Merges back release/1.1 into release/1.2
                'release/1.1' => 'release/1.2',
                // Merges back release/1.2 into develop
                'release/1.2' => 'develop',
            ],
        ],
        // http://github.com/AnotherUserOrOrganisation/ProjectB
        'AnotherUserOrOrganisation' => [
            'ProjectB' => [
                // Merges back release/2.0 into develop
                'release/2.0' => 'develop',
                // Merges back master into develop
                'master' => 'develop',
            ],
        ],
    ],
];

We recommend that you configure your cronjob to run every morning before you get to work. For example at 5am from monday to friday:
