Ranger
Repo maintenance is hard — you could use a hand
Ranger is a sidekick for repo maintainers. It reduces the burden of repository maintenance by automating common tasks, like:
- Auto-merging pull requests when all the status checks pass
- Auto-closing issues when a specific label is applied after a preconfigured amount of time
- Creating frequent comments in a standardized manner
- Auto-deleting branches after pull requests have been merged
- and more!
