Question

Body

Hello, I'm curious about scheduling merge job.
I prepared for a global service, some kinds of work should be published with UTC 0:00.
Some of my team feel low-key stressed with these kinds of job. (And we don't want pollute our codes with a date condition)

I think triggering merge with scheduling is quite proper solution for this. can it be possible?
or do you happened to know how to treat these kinds of problem, please let me know with comment!

There is no direct scheduling feature for pull request merges within GitHub itself, there are some workarounds you can consider if you need to achieve a similar result:

Using Automation Tools: You can use third-party automation tools like GitHub Actions or Jenkins to automate certain tasks related to pull request merging. With these tools, you can set up custom workflows that automatically merge pull requests when specific conditions are met or at scheduled intervals. Be cautious when implementing automated merging to ensure it aligns with your team's review and testing processes.

Delayed Merge via API: If you have the necessary programming skills, you can use GitHub's API to create a script or application that schedules a pull request merge at a specific time. The script can interact with the GitHub API to perform the merge when the scheduled time is reached. However, this approach requires careful consideration, as automated merges without proper review can lead to potential issues.
