Release of DevSensei Auto-Merge
We are pleased to announce the integration of DevSensei Auto-Merge into Code Owners.
You can't afford to wait any longer! With pull requests taking too long to be merged, you might face delayed customer feedback and longer-living branches causing merge conflicts. But there's a new branching strategy for combining advantages of both pull requests and shipping features faster: Ship/Show/Ask. Our DevSensei Auto-Merge application implements this strategy, allowing you to quickly ship features to your customers while still gathering feedback and making necessary changes. This results in a faster development cycle, more efficient use of resources, and ultimately, a better product for your customers.
When installing Code Owners 6.0, DevSensei will be enabled by default.
With DevSensei enabled, your team members can select “Auto-Merge” when creating a pull request. Such pull request will be merged as soon as all merge checks are fulfilled (merge checks include requiring review approvals, successful pipeline run…)
Auto Merge section from the PR creation form
Your team can also opt-in to embrace the full Ship/Show/Ask pull request workflow. DevSensei provides the tools to bring Ship/Show/Ask PR strategy to its full potential. It offers a dedicated UI guiding your team members to making the right choice.
