Night Porter: an overnight shift for pull requests
An open-source local tool that watches GitHub and GitLab pull requests and routes review comments, CI failures, and merge conflicts to a coding agent.
- For
- Developers managing GitHub or GitLab pull requests
- Worth noticing
- Untrusted commenters are held in an inbox; dependency bumps and large diffs can be routed for human approval.
Field notes
The documented workflow starts with a local daemon that polls for selected pull-request activity, then filters by repository, event type, and trusted commenter. A site demo transcript follows a review request through two signed commits and a user's approval before the changes are pushed. The page also describes an inbox for unfamiliar commenters and a pause control, presenting unattended work as configurable rather than all-or-nothing.
