About auto-merge
If you enable auto-merge for a pull request, the pull request will merge automatically when all required reviews are met and status checks have passed. Auto-merge prevents you from waiting around for requirements to be met, so you can move on to other tasks.
Before you can use auto-merge with a pull request, auto-merge must be enabled for the repository. For more information, see "Managing auto-merge for pull requests in your repository."
You can provide feedback about auto-merge by contacting us.
Enabling auto-merge

- Optionally, to choose a merge method, select the Enable auto-merge drop-down menu, then click a merge method. For more information, see "About pull request merges."

Disabling auto-merge
People with write permissions to a repository and pull request authors can disable auto-merge for a pull request.
