2.5. Recap: Weekend Out Exercise#
What Actually Happened?
Think back to the exercise where multiple people (you, Alice, Bob, and Carol) were collaborating on a packing list. Some unexpected things happened automatically - let’s understand why!
Key Questions
What exactly was going on in the Weekend-Out repository?
How did a merge conflict occur automatically?
What triggered the workflows?
Who (or what) made commits as “Carol[bot]” and “Alice[bot]”?
Why did two drone lists end up in the main branch?
Hint
Take another look at the .github/workflows/ directory in the Weekend-Out repository.
Three workflow files were silently working in the background:
