Mergify – An automation platform for GitHub pull requests

In plain words

Mergify is an automation platform for GitHub pull requests that batches multiple requests together for testing, reducing the time needed to clear the merge queue. It prevents broken code from reaching the main branch by testing batches simultaneously rather than individually. The tool is designed for fast-moving engineering teams that need stable, predictable merging under heavy load while maintaining code quality and deployment confidence.

From the sources

Mergify batches your pull requests and tests them together, so the queue clears in a fraction of the CI runs. Broken code never reaches main. "Mergify gave us a merge queue that behaves predictably under heavy load. Reliability is everything, and Mergify made stability a solved problem." "The merge queue is a huge value from Mergify: it keeps our main stable and allows us to merge quickly with confidence." "You get the benefits of Mergify immediately. There is no competitor doing stuff like this." "Since adopting Mergify, our code quality has skyrocketed. We've drastically reduced post-deployment bugs." "We transitioned from manual chaos to over 20 safe deploys per day. Mergify is becoming…from mergify.io

  We scaled Git to support 1 TB repos2022 · xethub.com · ▲279

  I’ve been in the MLOps space for ~10 years, and data is still the hardest unsolved open problem. Code is versioned using Git, data is stored somewhere else, and context often lives in a 3rd location like Slack or GDocs. This is why we built XetHub, a platform that enables teams to treat data like code, using Git. Unlike Git LFS, we don’t just store the files. We use content-defined chunking and Merkle Trees to dedupe against everything in history. This allows small changes in large files to be stored compactly. Read more here:…

  Hey HN - today I’m launching GitHired. A hiring platform that ranks developers based on what they actually build — not what they claim on a PDF. It’s called GitHired, and here’s the core idea: GitHub > Resumes Instead of trusting “proficient in React” bullet points, we analyze a candidate’s actual GitHub: their real tech stack their most complex projects how active they are what kinds of contributions they make which skills match your job description and yes, we detect fake “green square farming.” Why we built this Because engineering hiring is broken. Resumes are inflated. Activity charts…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
