At times there are high priority changes that cannot wait for all the pull requests ahead of this change in the queue. With Aviator, you can handle this by applying a skip_line
label. When this label is applied to a pull request, Aviator will move this pull request to the front of the queue to be merged first.
The default skip_line
label is mergequeue-priority
. This label can also be customized via merge_rules.labels
in :
When a skip_line
label is applied in a repository using the , all pending bot pull requests are also closed and new bot pull requests are constructed. Read more about this in our . The behavior is also similar when using fast-forwarding or when using batching.
When using affected targets, only the pull requests that affect the same target as the skip_line
pull request are de-prioritized. All bot pull requests associated with these de-prioritized pull requests will be closed, and the new skip_line
pull request will be moved to the top of the queue. No other pull requests in the queue are impacted.
Instant merge is a merge method that Aviator merge the pull request directly without waiting for the CI to finish. This requires elevated permissions for Aviator and can be configured using the Pilot workflow. See the to learn how to configure instant merges.
Aviator will queue new skip_line
pull requests after the existing ones (but before any non-skip_line
pull requests).
skip_line
label is removed?If the pull request does not have the merge label, then the pull request will be dequeued. Otherwise, if the pull request is still queued, the behavior varies. For repositories using the , the pull request is moved back to the original position in the queue. For other modes, there is no change in the queue after removing the skip line label. This prevents causing additional .
