Mergify
Mergify automates pull-request merging and CI workflows for teams working toward a green main branch.
What Mergify is
Mergify automates pull-request merging and CI workflows for teams working toward a green main branch. Its merge queue rebases each pull request on the latest main and merges it only after CI passes against the combined changes. Teams can batch pull requests into one CI run, then bisect a failed batch to locate the change responsible. CI Insights identifies unreliable jobs, retries them automatically, and provides information for investigating root causes. Merge Protections lets teams define custom rules, scheduled merge windows, freeze periods, and exceptions for urgent fixes. The queue works with any CI system that reports status checks to GitHub; deeper CI Insights connections are available for selected providers. Listed integrations include GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Buildkite, Slack, Datadog, and Terraform, alongside multiple test frameworks. Mergify offers a free plan for open-source projects or private teams of up to five users. Its Max plan costs $21 a month, billed per seat, and includes a 14-day trial. The Enterprise plan has custom pricing and can include optional on-premise deployment and dedicated support. Founded in 2018, Mergify is based in Toulouse, France.
