Hi folks,
github.com/mimblewimble-robot is our new friend, capable of cherry-picking
Github PRs across branches and we (Igno and I) recently configured it to work
for mimblewimble/grin.
You can use it by commenting on a PR, like so:
/cherrypick <target-branch>
eg. on a PR targetting master you can comment "/cherrypick milestone/testnet1"
and assuming no conflicts exist, the bot will open a new PR against
milestone/testnet1 that cherry-picks the originating PR. Some of you may have
already noticed its inagural PR[1]. It works both for merged PRs (new PR is
opened instantly) and open PRs (new PR is opened as soon as the canonical PR
merges).
If conflicts exist, you should see a nicely formatted message informing you of
the conflict. If a PR opens (so no conflict) but tests are broken for some
reason, eg. compilation is broken due to differences in other parts of the
code, folks with push access to mimblewimble/grin can push updates in the PR[2].
The bot is deployed in the free tier of Openshfit Online and its source code
can be found here[3]. If you have any issues, drop me a word on Github
(@kargakis) or open an issue at the bot's repo (kubernetes/test-infra).
Happy cherrypicking!
Michalis
