  description

  Auto Rebaser keeps your open GitHub pull requests up to date without you ever clicking "Update branch."
  
  Sign in once with the GitHub App (or a Personal Access Token) and the extension polls your authored PRs every few minutes. When a PR falls behind its base branch, it gets rebased automatically. When it merges, the branch can be deleted automatically. When auto-merge is allowed on the repo, it can be enabled automatically. When a review thread becomes outdated, it can be resolved automatically. When a PR sits idle, you can ping its reviewers with one click.
  
  Every action is logged to the activity page so you can audit what the extension has done on your behalf. Every automation is opt-in (except auto-rebase and auto-delete, which are safe defaults). No telemetry, no third-party services — the extension only talks to github.com (or your configured GitHub Enterprise host) using your token.
  
  FEATURES
    • Auto-rebase PRs whose base branch has moved ahead
    • Auto-delete merged branches
    • Auto-enable auto-merge with configurable method preference (squash / rebase / merge)
    • Auto-resolve review threads that no longer have an anchor line
    • Stale-PR badge with configurable idle threshold (3 / 7 / 14 / 30 / 60 days)
    • One-click "ping reviewers" with custom comment template
    • Per-repo opt-out lists for every automation
    • Keyboard shortcuts: r=poll, s=settings, ?=help, j/k=navigate, Enter=open, Esc=back
    • Bounded activity log (200 entries / 30 days), entries link to their PR
    • GitHub App auth (recommended) or PAT (legacy)
  
  PRIVACY
  The extension stores your token, settings, and a list of your authored PRs in chrome.storage. It contacts only api.github.com (or your configured GHES host). No analytics, no third-party servers, no data leaves your browser. Source is public at https://github.com/bradygrapentine/auto-rebaser.
  
  WHO IT'S FOR
  Engineers who maintain a steady stream of open PRs and want their housekeeping (rebase / merge / branch cleanup / nudges) to happen on its own.

  Auto-rebase GitHub pull requests, auto-merge, multi-account, reviewer dashboard — runs in your browser, no servers, no telemetry.
  
  Stop clicking "Update branch." Auto Rebaser keeps your open GitHub pull requests rebased, auto-merged, and tidy — entirely from your browser. No servers, no third-party services, no telemetry.
  
  Sign in with one or more GitHub accounts (App auth recommended, or PAT) and the extension polls your authored PRs every few minutes and acts on them automatically:
  
  • AUTO-REBASE pull requests whose base branch has moved ahead
  • AUTO-MERGE PRs once checks pass, with configurable squash / rebase / merge preference
  • AUTO-DELETE merged branches
  • AUTO-RESOLVE outdated review threads
  • PING idle reviewers with a one-click custom comment
  • STALE-PR badge with configurable thresholds (1 / 7 / 14 / 30 / 60 days)
  
  v2 adds the pieces I kept wanting after using v1 for a few months:
  
  • MULTI-ACCOUNT — add multiple GitHub accounts to one install and switch from the popup header. Per-account error isolation (a 401 on one account doesn't take down the others). Per-account settings, per-account PR cache.
  • REVIEWER DASHBOARD — second tab for PRs where you're a requested reviewer or assignee, with state chips for awaiting / approved / changes-requested / auto-merge-armed. Optional 4-gate conservative auto-merge per allowlisted repo.
  • PUSH-SINCE-APPROVAL — PRs that got new commits after your last approval surface a one-click "re-review" chip.
  • SETTINGS SPLIT — global (shared across accounts: ignored repos, keyboard shortcuts, GHES host) vs this-account (everything else). Switching accounts no longer trashes your per-repo opt-outs.
  • REPO FILTER CHIP — narrow the popup PR list to a subset of repos. Persists per-account.
  • DESKTOP NOTIFICATIONS (opt-in) — per-event toggles for rebased / conflicted / merged / idle / ping-confirmed. 1-hour throttle per (PR, event). Runtime-granted permission; default OFF.
  
  Every action is logged to an audit page (200 entries / 30 days, with entry links to the PR). Every automation is opt-in except auto-rebase and auto-delete (safe defaults). Per-repo opt-out lists for every automation. Keyboard shortcuts: r=poll, s=settings, ?=help, j/k=navigate, Enter=open, Esc=back.
  
  WHO IT'S FOR
  Engineers who maintain a steady stream of pull requests across one or more GitHub accounts (work + personal, multiple orgs) on GitHub or GitHub Enterprise, and want their housekeeping (rebase, merge, branch cleanup, reviewer nudges, re-review chips) to happen on its own.
  
  PRIVACY
  Your tokens, settings, and PR cache live in chrome.storage. The extension contacts only api.github.com (or your configured GHES host). No analytics, no third-party servers, no data leaves your browser. Notifications are opt-in and dispatched locally by the browser. Source is public at https://github.com/bradygrapentine/auto-rebaser.
  
  COMPARE TO
  Server-based GitHub bots (Mergify, Kodiak, Bulldozer) require organization admin install, repo configuration, and pay-per-seat pricing. Auto Rebaser runs as a browser extension under your account, costs nothing, and works on any repo where you have push access — including GitHub Enterprise. v2's multi-account support means one install covers your work GitHub, your personal GitHub, and any other accounts you maintain.
