Nudger Bot guarantees your deployment.
Ensure your CI/CD pipelines never sleep. Don't let collaborator security restrictions stop your CI/CD pipeline. The bot that nudges your build when static hosts sleep.

Simulate a contributor push that usually gets ignored.
Why you need Nudger
Security policies on platforms like Vercel and Netlify are great, until they block your team's workflow. We fix the gap without compromising security.
Deployment Assurance
Guarantees that code merged by non-owner collaborators still initiates a build on platforms like Vercel and Netlify.
Trusted Identity
Commits are made under the bot's secure identity (nudger-bot[bot]), which CI platforms are configured to trust.
Simple Logic
Monitors push events to designated critical branches (e.g., main) without complex configuration.
Loop Prevention
Includes intelligent internal logic to ensure the bot's own commits do not trigger an infinite deployment loop.
Under the Hood
Nudger Bot acts as a secure intermediary. It listens, verifies, and acts only when necessary to ensure your continuous delivery promise is kept.
Contributor Pushes Code
A contributor (who is not the repository owner) pushes or merges code to a monitored branch like 'main'.
Bot Detects Event
Nudger Bot receives the push webhook and analyzes the author's identity.
Identity Verification
The logic determines if a deployment is required and confirms the original author was not the trusted owner.
The 'Nudge'
The bot uses its GitHub App token to create a minimal, non-breaking commit (e.g., updating a timestamp).
Pipeline Triggered
The final commit, authored by the trusted bot, successfully triggers the CI/CD pipeline.
