CircleCI

• This works as GitHub Actions.
• This assigns a reviewer and change a label by special comment command.
• This behaves like highfive or popuko

• We don't manage any bot instance for this purpose.
• We'd like to use managed service to host this kind of a bot.
• Try GitHub Actions :)
  • Investigate its latency & its throughput for chat bot purpose.

• You can use these command as a comment for issue or pull request or pull request review.
• Your comment change some status of the issue you commented.
• This actions treats S- prefixed labels exclusively.
  • e.g. If your pull request is labeled with S-a and S-b, then this action replaces them with S-c.
• If your comment has multiple line, this action interprets only the first line of it.
• To support the command style which bors-ng uses, you can write botname <this action command>.
  • e.g. bors r+ is ok.

• This assigns @username1 and @username2 to assignees filed.
• This adds the label S-awaiting-review.

• This assigns the user who opens the issue to assignees filed.
• This adds the label S-awaiting-merge.

• This assigns the user who opens the issue to assignees filed.
• This adds the label S-need-code-change.

• By the Limitation of the current GitHub Actions, this might not works your repository well.
  • Because GitHub Actions is still in beta.
  • We confirms this works with a private repository. But we have not confirmed yet to work with a public one.

• We know that this action takes ~30sec to react user comment.
• We think this is the current or fundamental limitation of GitHub Actions. See #6.
