About auto-merge

If you allow auto-merge for pull requests in your repository, people with write permissions can configure individual pull requests in the repository to merge automatically when all merge requirements are met. {% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" or currentVersion == "github-ae@next" or currentVersion ver_gt "enterprise-server@3.1" %}If someone who does not have write permissions pushes changes to a pull request that has auto-merge enabled, auto-merge will be disabled for that pull request. {% endif %}For more information, see "Automatically merging a pull request."
