Branch naming

You can configure Engine’s branch naming conventions from the git provider settings menu.

Engine provides several common variables you can include using handlebars

Changing Git Committer

By default, Engine will commit as engine-labs-app[bot] but you can change this from the git provider settings menu.

Setting the Base Branch

You can set the base branch for Engine to work off for each repository in the repository settings page.

Ignoring git users

You can ignore git users (such as bots) from the git menu in the Engine app. This will exclude events from these user triggering automatic triggers.

Automatic Triggers

Automatic triggers will only work if your repo has a passing VM setup

If Engine is properly setup for your repo, it will automatically respond to a failing pipeline or automatic reviews and attempt to work on your PR until is in a passing state. Typically, Engine will try to do this three times.
