:chipmunk: Kira's micro-bot to fight with stale GitLab issues and merge requests

Kira Stale Bot

Automate routine work with stale GitLab issues and merge requests.

Part of the @kira bots family.

Adding new actions

Policy:

1. All actions must be idempotent: multiple runs – the same state
2. All actions must make sense for all projects
3. Dry run your script several times with --dry-run flag to make sure it works

Installation

We use gitlab-triage inside. So, consult their docs about deployment and usage.

You can even have a look at GitLab's internal policies.

It is possible to use this setup with .gitlab-ci.yml and Heroku.

Labels setup

You will need to create this set of labels:

• deadline:soft
• deadline:hard
• deadline:miss
• validation:labels
• validation:stale
• validation:estimate
• validation:invalid
• notification:first
• notification:last

You can use kira-setup to create these labels for you.

Heroku setup

To setup a new Heroku server you will need to:

1. Setup a scheduler
2. Setup all env vars with tokens and ids
3. Enjoy!

Use worker process type to run inside a scheduler every 10 minutes. Make sure to fill all env vars with the correct values.

GitLab CI setup

You can generate .gitlab-ci.yml file to run this script as scheduled events:

1. Use --init-ci to generate default .gitlab-ci.yml file
2. Enable scheduled builds in CI
