How to talk to the bots

Some parts of the conda-forge automation are exposed as "bot commands" that can be invoked from issue titles and comments. You can check the full list in the admin-web-services documentation.

Bot commands typically start with @conda-forge-admin, please. Bot commands can have two types of scope:

  • Repository scope: The command is typed as the title of a new issue in the target feedstock, or in an issue comment.
  • Pull request scope: The command is typed as a pull request comment or review.

Some commands may have dual behavior. For example @conda-forge-admin, please rerender can be used as an issue title to create a new PR after rerendering from main, but it can also be used within a PR to rerender the head branch and push a new commit automatically.

The bots will usually react to the comment with a 🚀 emoji, and later post a comment informing about progress and outcome.
