Dry-run mode

gitStream runs automations as described in .cm/*.cm in the main branch.

To allow testing and experimenting with new rules, gitStream supports dry-run mode. When you commit changes to .cm/*.cm in a PR branch, gitStream will switch to dry-run mode.

In dry-run mode gitStream will stop executing automation rules described in the main branch for this PR, instead gitStream will parse the automation rules described in the .cm/*.cm of the PR branch and add a comment in the PR that describes all the automations actions – without executing the actions.

Note

When in dry-run mode, changes to the .cm/*.cm file are ignored when calculating the conditions to help focus on setting the right automations

Once you are satisfied with the results, you can merge the .cm/*.cm into the main branch to enable all new changes.
