GitBot – automating boring Git operations with CI

What this post added

This post introduces the automation of Git operations within GitLab CI. It details how to configure CI jobs to automatically rebase a 'ts' branch onto the 'master' branch after a push to 'master'. It also describes a workflow for automatically creating merge requests when a NED (Network Element Driver) is updated, by modifying a version file in a separate repository and pushing the changes. The post provides specific `.gitlab-ci.yml` configurations for these automation tasks, including SSH key setup and Git commands.
