Deploying

Miro is a completely Open-Source project written in .NET Core. To use Miro in your org/team/projects all you need to do is pull + run the miro docker image.

How does it work

Important - for Miro to work, your master branch must be a protected branch

Miro listens to events in Github, and acts accordingly. The events Miro listens to can be divided to 3 major events:

• Pull Request opened/closed
• Merge command
• Status checks

Once all the status checks have passed, and the Miro merge command was given (in any order), Miro will try and merge the branch.
Why only try? Because the branch might not be updated. In that case, Miro will update your branch automatically and wait for the CI to run again.

Miro Merge Command

In your PR, you need to comment miro merge only ONCE. This will cause Miro to wake up, and try and merge your Pull Request. For a PR to be mergeable, it needs to pass all status checks.

The beauty of Miro, is that you can type the miro command anytime, even before the checks have passed, and Miro will continue to try and merge your PR until all status checks have passed.

Another cool feature, is that Miro will try and update your branch if its not up to date with master. Meaning you do not need to press 'Update Branch'!. Once the branch is updated, the CI will re-run and Miro will try and merge the PR again next time.

Miro Cancel Command

miro cancel Will stop Miro from trying to Merge your Pull Request. If no miro-merge command was given before, this command does nothing. It does not remove the PR from the Database

Miro Info Command

miro info Will show you the status of your PullRequest according to Miro. For example what checks are missing. Once all checks have passed, if you ask miro for info he should say "Pr is ready for merging"

Miro WIP Command

miro wip Only in blacklist merge policy mode. In other merge policies, this acts like miro cancel. For more info on merge policy

Additional Features

Optional repository Config File - .miro.yml

On every push to master Miro will grab the latest .miro.yml file if it exists, if not, it will use the defaults. It can look like this:

updateBranchStrategy: all|oldest|none # When a PR is merged, how do we update the next - default: oldest

mergePolicy: whitelist|blacklist|whitelist-strict # Merging strategy - default: whitelist

defaultBranch: master # describes the branch that Miro listens to for updating, merging and all operations - default: master

quiet: false # if set to true, Miro will write less commits on your repo, notifiying you only when merging fails

mergePolicy (whitelist | blacklist | whitelist-strict)

blacklist

All PRs that are ready are merged automatically, no need to type miro-merge. PRs that want to be blacklisted must comment miro wip

whitelist

Only PRs that typed miro-merge will be merged

whitelist-strict

To enable this feature, you must, after declaring it in the .miro.yml file, do the following:

• In Github, Make the Miro check a required status check like in the example below:
