Automate merge requests across forked repos

[karthickthangasamy]

I'm looking to create a merge request automatically after committing the changes in the forked repository. I tried some packages and it seems not possible to create the merge request. Is there any new API's available to create the MR's automatically.?

Scenario:

I'm moving some files from the private repo to the public repo based on some criteria, which is completely achieved using gulp. The only show stopper is, need to create the merge request manually.

I'm wondering if by "merge requests", are you asking about pull requests? 😸

The GitHub REST API has a Pulls API with an endpoint for creating a pull request, including code samples in Shell and JavaScript. You could leverage that endpoint in your script as a starting point.
