Bot Activity

We generally try to filter out bot activity as this does not represent actual collaboration or work by team members. PRs authored by bots includes:

  • PRs authored by a user that GitHub deems is of type "Bot"

  • PRs authored by a user of type User with the string -bot, [bot] , or dependabot in the name (case sensitive). E.g., bertie-bot and bertie-bott would be considered bots, but hannah-abbott wouldn’t.

  • PRs authored by a user of type User with a name that exactly matches one in our specified list. This list includes common GitHub bots who come through with a type of "User", like netlify, linear-app, renovate, renovate-approve, and github-actions.

  • PRs with [snyk] in the title (case insensitive).
