My Github App Does exactly what you want : ) 🤖 a GitHub App built with probot that keeps your repository up-to-date with upstream changes via automated PRs. |

So, if I understand correct, that works on "fork-side", right? Because I'm helping at PowerToys and that repo has 4.8k forks and 34 branches - of which at least 10 are stale. But this can't be "installed" in the PowerToys repo itself? |

@Jay-o-Way yes the typically use-case is fork-side. However, the advanced configuration supports syncing up branches within your repo as well even if it's not a fork. |

Hello this is my first post on GitHub Community.
I have a feature request that might interest some people hope like in the 10s of Thousands.
Auto-sync of repo with a option to toggle it in each respective repo.
hope it gets added because it sounds like a good feature to have in case you need the bug fixes from upstream (as long as it does not break copyright)
if this feature does not get added i won’t worry about it then
Thanks
nutterthanos
