# GitHub Overlord

GitHub Overlord is a Python script that does a couple things to help manage open source projects on GitHub:

* Automatically merges Dependabot PRs in public repositories that have passed CI checks.

* Comment on PRs that are going to automatically be marked as stale

* Removes notifications from dependabot and releases on your own projects

This simple project has also given me the chance to iterate on my [nixpacks github actions project](https://github.com/iloveitaly/github-action-nixpacks).

## Installation

```shell

pip install github-overlord

```

## Usage

```shell

### Docker Cron

There's a docker container you can use to run this on a cron. [Fits nicely into a orange pi.](https://mikebian.co/pi-hole-tailscale-and-docker-on-an-orange-pi/)

Check out [docker-compose.yml](./docker-compose.yml) for an example, or `git pull ghcr.io/iloveitaly/github-overlord:latest`.
