help GitAuto FAQ
What does GitAuto automate on GitHub?
GitAuto creates pull requests that merge changes from local branches into designated remote tracking branches. It is aimed at contributors who repeat the same branch-to-remote workflow frequently.
Does GitAuto automatically merge pull requests?
The catalog description says GitAuto creates pull requests, not that it approves or merges them automatically. A repository's review rules, branch protection, and human approval requirements still control whether the pull request can be merged.
How is GitAuto different from GitHub Actions?
GitHub Actions runs configured workflows on GitHub events, while GitAuto focuses on creating pull requests from local branch changes to remote tracking branches. They can serve different parts of a development process and are not interchangeable by default.
Who would benefit most from GitAuto?
It is most useful for developers or teams that regularly move local branch work into a standard remote branch through pull requests. The main benefit is reducing repeated GitHub and branch-management steps, while keeping the change visible as a reviewable pull request.
