Hi,
Couple days ago we where discussing using a merge-bot to automate various
things in from the workflow of Shell maintainers. The main features the bot
provides is automating the merge and rebase of multiple MRs without human
interaction (assuming MRs are approved), and annotating the commits with a link
to the MR they were part of.
Over on gitlab.freedesktop.org we have already deployed it for about a year and
the bot has been working fine so far for both GStreamer and Mesa.
Gitlab EE offers a similar functionality in the form of Merge Trains, but we
are not sure if and when it will make it over to EE. Given that a third-party
bot existed before they implemented the functionality themselves its luckily
they will move it to Gitlab Core at some point to simplify the setup for
everyone. Already asked about it in [this
issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/21267#note_384957147)
Anyhow back to the bot. The project is hosted
[here](https://github.com/smarkets/marge-bot) and seems kubernetes friendly. I
've been maintaining the GStreamer bot and wouldn't mind volunteering to help
with this one either, though I've never used kube before, just docker.
What we will need to set it up:
* An account for the bot to use that has merge permissions in `gnome-shell` and
`mutter`
* An ssh key associated with the account
* A token of the account with `api` and `read_user` permissions
Here is an example config for the bot
```yaml
# Adds the url of the MR to the commit msg
add-part-of: true
# These require gitlab admin privs and we don't really need them
add-reviewers: false
impersonate-approvers: false
add-tested: false
batch: false
# Can make it so it only looks for the stable branches and main later
# branch-regexp: .*
ci-timeout: 180min
git-timeout: 120s
gitlab-url: 'https://gitlab.gnome.org'
project-regexp: "gnome-shell|mutter"
auth-token-file: '/configuration/secrets/marge-bot.token'
# auth-token: ''
ssh-key-file: '/configuration/secrets/marge-bot-ssh-key'
# ssh-key: |
# -BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-
# HELLO WORLD
```
