Trunk-based vs Gitflow: which branching model really works for modern CI/CD? We compare both, share trade-offs, and argue why trunk-based (with automation like merge queues) usually wins for teams that care about speed, reliability, and flow.

A practical guide to modern code review—from reducing friction to building team culture. Tips for writers, reviewers, and leads to turn code review into a source of clarity, speed, and collaboration instead of delay and frustration.

CI is supposed to help developers move faster — but too often, it does the opposite. In this post, Julien Danjou, Mergify CEO, reflects on why CI feels broken, how teams lose trust in it, and what we can do to bring clarity, observability, and confidence back into the software delivery process.

At Mergify, we reject with respect. This post shares how we handle one of hiring’s hardest parts: saying no. Why we keep it short, when we go deeper, and how we try to balance honesty, kindness, and efficiency — for your sake and ours.

How Mergify evolved from lightweight Agile to a project-driven workflow that balances ownership, clarity, and autonomy. Briefs, leads, and deadlines keep us motivated, aligned, and shipping without bureaucracy.
