Features

• 🔄 Automated Synchronization: Ensures forks are updated by automatically creating pull requests to integrate new changes from upstream
• ⚙️ Flexible Configuration: Customize sync behavior through .github/pull.yml configuration to accommodate different merge strategies, including merge, squash, rebase, and hard reset
• 🕒 Scheduled Updates: Regularly checks for upstream changes periodically to ensure forks are always up-to-date
• 👥 Team Integration: Facilitates collaboration by automatically adding assignees and reviewers to pull requests, honoring branch protection rules and working seamlessly with pull request checks and reviews
• 🚀 Enterprise Ready: Supports GitHub Enterprise Server, ensuring a smooth integration process for enterprise-level projects

Prerequisites

• Upstream must be in the same fork network.
• ⚠️Make a backup if you've made changes.

Getting Started

⭐ Star this project (Highly recommended, starred users may receive priority over other users)

Basic Setup

• Just install Pull app.

Pull app will automatically watch and pull in upstream's default (master) branch to yours using hard reset periodically. You can also manually trigger it anytime.

Advanced Configuration (with config file)

1. Create a new branch.

2. Setup the new branch as default branch under repository Settings > Branches.

3. Add .github/pull.yml to your default branch.

   Most Common

   (behaves the same as Basic Setup)

   version: "1"rules:
   - base: masterupstream: wei:master # change `wei` to the owner of upstream repomergeMethod: hardresetmergeUnstable: true

   Advanced usage

   version: "1"rules: # Array of rules
   - base: master # Required. Target branchupstream: wei:master # Required. Must be in the same fork network.mergeMethod: hardreset # Optional, one of [none, merge, squash, rebase, hardreset], Default: none.mergeUnstable: false # Optional, merge pull request even when the mergeable_state is not clean. Default: false
   - base: devupstream: master # Required. Can be a branch in the same forked repo.assignees: # Optional
   - weireviewers: # Optional
   - weiconflictReviewers: # Optional, on merge conflict assign a reviewer
   - weilabel: ":arrow_heading_down: pull"# OptionalconflictLabel: "merge-conflict"# Optional, on merge conflict assign a custom label, Default: merge-conflict

4. Go to https://pull.git.ci/check/${owner}/${repo} to validate your .github/pull.yml.

5. Install Pull app.

Trigger Manually

You can manually trigger Pull by going to https://pull.git.ci/process/${owner}/${repo}.

For Upstream Repository Owners

For the most common use case (a single master branch), you can just direct users to install Pull with no configurations. If you need a more advanced setup (such as a docs branch in addition to master), consider adding .github/pull.yml to your repository pointing to yourself (see example). This will allow forks to install Pull and stay updated automatically.

Example (assuming owner is your user or organization name):

version: "1"rules:
- base: masterupstream: owner:mastermergeMethod: hardresetmergeUnstable: true
- base: docsupstream: owner:docsmergeMethod: hardresetmergeUnstable: true
