The current backport action cannot automerge because the github action bot does not trigger github CI actions. Mergify instead does not have this limitation and can also use a merge queue. On top we have now a declarative configuration to allow contributers to add new tests to required without having access to the github org. An example pull request and backport can be seen here: #4 and here: #5 To complete the setup the mergify app must be enabled for this repository. It's already installed in the nixos organization for nixos-hardware and other repositories.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
If you find these rules too tedious, one can also have a label for multiple nix branches.

Check out all the other nice additions of mergify that can be run by using I like rebase: https://docs.mergify.com/workflow/actions/rebase/ |
