Mergify
Toulouse, France
What it is
Mergify automates pull request merging with a queue, CI insights, flaky-test tools, and merge protections. Its queue rebases each pull request onto the latest main branch and merges only when CI passes on the combined state. Teams can group pull requests into one CI run, then bisect a failed batch to find the responsible change. CI Insights flags unreliable jobs, retries them automatically, and provides information for root-cause investigation. Merge Protections supports custom rules, scheduled merge windows, freeze periods, and exceptions for urgent fixes. The queue works with any CI system that reports status checks to GitHub, while deeper CI Insights connections are listed for selected providers. Integrations include GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Buildkite, Slack, Datadog, Terraform, and test frameworks. The free plan covers open-source projects or private teams of up to five users. Max costs $21 per user per month and includes a 14-day trial. The company was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in Toulouse, France.
