Prow is a Kubernetes-based continuous integration and continuous delivery system.
It runs jobs triggered by pull requests, repository updates, scheduled events and other activity, then reports their status to supported services.
Beyond job execution, Prow provides GitHub automation, policy enforcement, slash-command ChatOps and automatic pull request merging. Its modular architecture is designed to support large organisations managing many repositories.
This is free and open source software.
