Bors-NG is a self-hosted GitHub bot that implements a merge queue workflow, testing batches of pull requests together on a staging branch before landing them on main so the main branch never breaks. It is written in Elixir and is now deprecated in favor of GitHub's built-in merge queue, though bug fixes are still merged.

Use cases

  • keep the main branch always green with tested merges
  • batch multiple pull requests into one merge queue test run
  • avoid semantic merge conflicts between passing PRs
  • automate merge-on-green workflow for GitHub pull requests
  • self-host a merge bot for a GitHub organization
  • test PR combinations before publishing to main

When to choose

  • you are on an older GitHub plan without access to merge queues
  • you need a self-hosted merge queue with batch testing
  • your team wants bors-style r+/try commands on GitHub PRs

When to avoid

  • you can use GitHub's built-in merge queue feature
  • you need a project with active feature development
  • you don't use GitHub for pull requests
