GitlabBot

A Bot that auto-merges merge-requests if enough "LGTMS" have been received (by trusted users) resets automatically on MR changes or code pushes.

Setup

• Create a bot user in gitlab

• Get the Private token of the newly created user

  • Impersonate as the bot user, and go to: http://gitlab.krone.at/profile/account, copy the token

• Install the Bot, on a server that can be reached from your gitlab installation (the bot also needs to be able to reach the gitlab instance)

  git clone https://github.com/hjanuschka/GitlabBot.git
  cp config.json.example config.json
  

• Customize the config.json

• Customize the ci-bot.service to fit your paths

• install the systemd service

  cp ci-bot.service /etc/systemd/system/
  systemctl enable ci-bot.service
  systemctl start ci-bot.service
  

• Add the bot user to the desired gitlab project (on Project -> Members (master role, as it needs to be able to merge))

• Add a webhook to the project (on Project -> Webhooks)

If everthing went well - create a MR and you should see the bot posting to it "Init/Reset MR"
