GitHub Overlord

GitHub Overlord is a Python script that does a couple things to help manage open source projects on GitHub:

• Automatically merges Dependabot PRs in public repositories that have passed CI checks.
• Comment on PRs that are going to automatically be marked as stale
• Removes notifications from dependabot and releases on your own projects

This simple project has also given me the chance to iterate on my nixpacks github actions project.

There's a docker container you can use to run this on a cron. Fits nicely into a orange pi.
