We use comment automation in pull request comments to allow contributors and authors to assign labels that drive the pull request review process.
| Comment | What it does | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| #sign-off | When the author of an article types the #sign-off comment in the comment stream, the ready-to-merge label is assigned. | Public and private |
| #sign-off | If a contributor who is NOT the listed author tries to sign off on a public pull request using the #sign-off comment, a message is written to the pull request indicating the label can be assigned only by the author. | Public |
| #hold-off | If you type #hold-off in a pull request comment, it removes the ready-to-merge label - in case you change your mind or make a mistake. In the private repo, this assigns the do-not-merge label. | Public and private |
| #please-close | Authors can type the #please-close comment in the comment stream of a pull request to close it if you decide not to have the changes merged. | Public |
