.stackat.yml / option

auto_pr

Turns automatic pull requests on or off. With auto_pr: true, each scan opens a pull request per tool and release that is due.

What it does#

• true: Stackat opens a pull request for every tool behind its latest release, bumping every pin of the tool in one commit on stackat/<tool>-<version>. A ready pull request when nothing in the release notes touches your files, a draft with the issue's checklist when something does. See Pull requests.
• false: issues only. People can still ask for a single pull request by replying /stackpaw pr on an issue.
• Not set: automatic pull requests stay off.

Pull requests need the Stackpaw app, on the trial or Team. With Stackpaw Audit, or on the free plan, auto_pr: true opens none.

Type and values#

Organisation and repository#

Set in the organisation's file, it applies to every repository. A repository's own auto_pr replaces it, in either direction: an organisation can turn pull requests on and one repository turn them off, or the other way round.

Problems you may see#

.stackat.yml: auto_pr must be true or false

Anything but true or false ("yes", on in quotes, 1) is that problem, and the setting is ignored.

Examples#

Pull requests for every repository#

auto_pr: true

Issues only, pull requests on request#

Change control wants a person to decide each time: keep automatic pull requests off and reply /stackpaw pr when you are ready.

auto_pr: false

On, with a cooldown#

Pull requests target the same release as the issue, so a cooldown applies to them too.

auto_pr: true
cooldown: 14
