What do you like best about Mergify?

Personally, I love automatic approvals. Our repositories need to be kept in sync, so we have robots opening PRs that bump dependency versions into specific files. It happens at least on a daily basis. We configured Mergify to automatically approve and merge the PR if CI remains green. We used to have people do it manually. It saves a bunch of time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mergify?

I don't see anything at the moment, actually. Mergify solves a specific need very well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mergify:

Don’t know why Mergify didn’t behave the way you expected? The extensive up-to-date report attached to your Pull Request is beneficial in debugging what is going on! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mergify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mozilla uses Mergify for some of our small to medium-sized projects, the largest being Firefox for Android. The source code of Firefox has historically been hosted outside of Github. Although 4 years ago, we decided to move the code of Firefox for Android to Github.

Initially, we started with a startup mindset with very few processes. As the project gained momentum, we began to bring processes close to the ones we have on Firefox desktop. Mergify helped us to automate the last mile thanks to its merge queue, automatic approvals, and backports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mergify?

Currently, I have yet to hit any major roadblocks personally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mergify:

If you're after an easy process to auto-merge and have a friendly bot to usher through your PRs to production, do not look past Mergify! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mergify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mergify is streamlining our CI/CD process by making use of the auto-deployment features it provides us we simply just set up particular labels to coincide with the resultant deployment we're after;

ie. hotfix, releade_to_production/staging etc. These labels have been set up to give mergify the commands to handle our deployment and queueing of PRs. No longer do we manually have to usher through different PRs and keep an eye on the deployment process; now we trust mergify to handle those mundane tasks so we can focus on shipping.

What do you like best about Mergify?

I think the best part of Mergify is the support, it is really great. Whenever we have had a feature request or a bug report, the issue or feature is often introduced/fixed rather quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mergify?

My main gripe about Mergify is that is rather expensive. But the alternative is not much better either, as merging manually is not scalable when the number of PRs increases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mergify:

If you have a team that is not of a trivial size and has a repository that many people are merging to, then I would recommend using Mergify. Especially if developers are racing each other to merge first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mergify solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main issue we were facing was how to merge PRs in an orderly, painless fashion, which Github does not provide by default. There was regular conflict and frustration whenever more than one PR needed to be merged at the same time.

With Mergify all of these issues are now gone, no more endlessly rebasing, no more babysitting your PRs, simply add a label to your PR and that's it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mergify?

The dashboard where I can evaluate my rules is great! Helps me set up the correct rules with immediate feedback and validation.

Furthermore, I'm impressed by Mergify's speed in reacting to PR changes. I add a label and Mergify takes action within a minute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mergify?

I wouldn't say I dislike anything. It does what it promises, and it does so well. But if I could wish for something, it would be more actions and more examples on how to use actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mergify solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Mergify extensively to automate dependency upgrades. Recently we also set it up as a merge queue until GitHub releases a native merge queue. Great productivity boost because we need to spend less time on things that can be automated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mergify?

Dashboard looks nice. It's relatively "fire and forget" once configured. Github does not have support for different MQ requirements on different tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mergify?

Mergify is hard to configure. It does not have a configuration for "wait for all tests to pass". Neither does github. Both claim that it is "impossible" to do this, but I think that's avoiding the point. It's clearly a painpoint that is solveable for the majority of use cases. For example, it could parse the .github/ directory.

When Mergify and/or Github actions fail, debugging the issue is difficult and requires currently specialized expertise. An advantage of avoiding mergify and using base tools from github is that anyone can debug. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mergify:

Really make sure that the base github isn't doing it for you.

Mergify comes with a new set of problems (configuration) in exchange for eliminating the known ones (semantic merge conflicts and fine grained test requirements). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mergify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allowing multiple engineers to work together in a repository and land code while only waiting for the relevant tests to pass. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mergify?

Merge queue (speculative checks). It's smart and it helps to reduce time to master Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mergify?

Mergify is missing some configurability. Mainly the option to opt-out from branch protection rules. But it could have more options in general -> more options, more solutions it can solve Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mergify solving and how is that benefiting you?

A lot of PRs that need to be tested before merging into master. Mergify helps to create merge queue and achieve short time to master Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Mergify helped with:

Mergify takes your complex workflow and simplify it by automation. When working on a lot of Pull Requests, on big projects and/or with large teams, there are always a lot of merge conflicts, merge trains to be respected (which can be very hard to do sometimes), and in general triage and management of PRs can be a nightmare. But with Mergify we could automate most of it, and the queue feature allows to have the merges taken care of cleanly and in the correct order. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mergify?

Merge queues are definitely the biggest advantage of this tool. Yes, GitHub has merge queues as well (kinda), but what you can do with Mergify is tenfold... Especially having multiple queues on the same project. That is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mergify?

THe only thing I'd like to see improved is having some sort of auto-completion in the rule editor, that would make Mergify even more user-friendly. But it is nitpicking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mergify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mergify helps in automating Pull Request management and Merges. This means the team leads and the devs have way more time to dedicate to coding, backlog grooming, and other important tasks. And this also minimize conflicts and issues! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mergify?

As we maintain multiple release branches, we save huge amounts of developer time with the ability to automate our backports to these branches. The devs only have to intervene when a backport fails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mergify?

The only real issue is the infrequent downtime or slow response to github comments but those are becoming much more rare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't really much I don't like about Mergify Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
