Azure DevOps Pull Request Minder

BroomBot

BroomBot is an Azure DevOps Pull Request Minder. Sweep up forgotten and forlorn Azure DevOps Pull Requests with BroomBot!

About

GitHub has a rich ecosystem of bots and helper tools that (among other things) empower repo owners to automatically remind pull request creators to stay on top of their PRs, and clean up stale PRs when they are unattended too long. There are not as many great solutions for this same problem in Azure DevOps, and so BroomBot fills that gap.

BroomBot periodically checks your Azure DevOps repos for pull requests that haven't been updated in a while and reminds the person who opened it to attend to their PR. After a few reminders, BroomBot will abandon the stale PR.

Features

BroomBot is very customizable. BroomBot can:

• Scan for stale pull requests as often as you want
• Give as many warnings as you want
• Mark stale pull requests as abandoned once enough warnings have been given
• You can completely customize every message BroomBot posts
  • Including tagging the pull request creator in the message
  • Including the name, avatar, description and overall appearance of the bot
• Customize the deployment of BroomBot in Azure

Deploying BroomBot

BroomBot is quickly and conveniently deployable into any Azure DevOps organization. Check out BroomBot's deployment guide for more information.
