Git Autopilot

Beta · Server-side — this capability runs on the hosted Bootspring API and is still stabilizing; interfaces may change.

Git Autopilot monitors your repository activity and automatically suggests or starts workflows based on git events.

Overview#

When you create a feature branch, commit with a specific prefix, or tag a release, Bootspring can automatically:

• Suggest the appropriate workflow
• Start the workflow (if auto-start is enabled)
• Track the connection between git activity and workflows

Best Practices#

1. Start with suggestions - Use requireConfirmation: true until you trust the mappings
2. Ignore protected branches - Keep main/master/develop in ignoreBranches
3. Use conventional commits - Autopilot works best with consistent commit prefixes
4. Review mappings regularly - Adjust as your workflow evolves

Troubleshooting#

No suggestions appearing#

• Check if autopilot is enabled: bootspring autopilot status
• Verify branch isn't in ignoreBranches
• Check if event patterns match your naming conventions

Wrong workflow suggested#

• Review the event mappings: bootspring autopilot mappings
• Add more specific patterns to override defaults
