Managing pull requests across an entire organization can often feel like a black box, especially when dealing with bulk updates from tools like Dependabot. On March 14, 2026, we released ghprmerge v0.2.1, a quality-of-life update designed to bring transparency and immediate feedback to your automation workflow.

What’s new

The headline feature of this release is Real-time Action Streaming. Previously, when performing bulk merge or rebase operations, you often had to wait for the entire process to complete or enable verbose mode to see what was happening.

Now, the results of every merge and rebase are streamed directly to your console in real-time, appearing inline with the progress bar. This means you get immediate confirmation of successes and failures as they occur, without any extra configuration.

Why it matters

When you are automating changes across dozens or hundreds of repositories, knowing exactly where a process is succeeding or failing is critical. By removing the “silent” period during execution, ghprmerge v0.2.1 makes the tool feel significantly more responsive. You no longer have to guess if the tool is hanging or simply working through a long list—you see the progress happen live.

Get started

You can upgrade to v0.2.1 today by downloading the latest pre-compiled binary for Linux, macOS, or Windows from our GitHub Releases page.

Alternatively, you can install the latest version directly using Go:

go install github.com/UnitVectorY-Labs/ghprmerge@latest

As always, ensure you have your GITHUB_TOKEN configured or an active gh CLI session to authenticate.
