Summary

Mergify is designed to prevent the common issue of continuous integration (CI) failures after merging pull requests by implementing a robust Merge Queue system. This system ensures that every pull request is tested against the latest version of the main branch before merging, eliminating stale merges and unexpected breaks in the CI process. Mergify's solution addresses the frustration and cost associated with post-merge CI failures by providing a reliable, deterministic CI experience that allows engineers to deploy confidently. With over one million merges handled annually, Mergify positions itself as a crucial safety system for protecting the integrity of the main branch, ensuring that CI serves as a dependable safety net rather than a potential minefield.
