ESLint GitHub bot

eslint-github-bot is a bot created with probot which automates some common tasks for repositories run by the ESLint team.

The bot can perform the following tasks:

• Triage - adds the "triage" label to newly-created issues which don't have labels.
• Commit message check - adds a status check to pull requests to verify that they follow ESLint's pull request guidelines
• Needs info - adds a comment to issues requesting more information when a maintainer adds the needs info label.
• Release/TSC meeting issues - creates a new issue with the release/tsc meeting label scheduled two weeks later, after another release/TSC meeting issue is closed.
• Release monitor - searches the repository for an issue with the release and patch release pending labels, indicating that a patch release might soon be created from master. If an issue is found, adds a pending status check to all PRs that would require a semver-minor release, to prevent anyone from accidentally merging them.
• Issue Archiver - Locks and adds a label to issues which have been closed for a while
• Issue Closer - Closes and adds a label to issues which have been inactive for a while
• WIP Tracking - adds pending status check for PRs with WIP in the title or with "do not merge" label, and marks the status check as successful once the WIP indicators are removed.
• PR ready to merge (experimental) - adds a label to all PRs which are "ready to merge", defined by the following criteria:
  • At least one review is approved.
  • Build status is success.
• Check unit tests (experimental) - makes sure a PR contains unit tests. This check will be ignored for PRs with Build|Chore|Docs|Upgrade in the commit message.
• Duplicate comments (inactive) - removes all the duplicates comments by this bot and leaves the last one of each type.
