FAQPage Schema
How do I automate deployment and merge workflow in GitHub?▼

Automated deployment and merge workflows are handled by detecting the base branch, merging changes, running tests, and bumping versions. You can trigger the entire pipeline by running the /ship command.

What's the best way to run automated tests before merging a pull request?▼

Automated test execution is integrated directly into the merge workflow. After merging your code changes, the Skill runs tests on the merged result to ensure stability before proceeding with version bumping and pull request creation.

Do I need GitHub CLI and git installed to automate my merge workflow?▼

Yes, git, GitHub CLI (gh), and bash are required dependencies to automate the deployment and merge workflow. These tools provide the necessary version control and command-line environment for executing deployment scripts.

Can I integrate code review into an automated deployment pipeline?▼

Code review integration is supported within the deployment pipeline. The Skill connects with a review process to perform detailed code inspection, ensuring changes are reviewed efficiently before finalizing the merge.

How does version bumping work in an automated merge workflow?▼

Version bumping occurs automatically after code changes are merged and tests pass successfully. This ensures the repository version reflects the latest stable merged code within the deployment pipeline.

When should I not use an automated merge and deployment workflow?▼

Automated deployment workflows may not suit projects lacking established test suites or those requiring manual intervention for complex merge conflicts. It is ideal for multi-contributor projects needing streamlined, safe integration.
