Automatically Close Obsolete Open Source Fix PRs
Snyk now automatically closes outdated open source fix PRs when issues are resolved through manual fixes, dependency removals, or transitive updates, with detailed comments explaining the closure. The feature is enabled by default for all organizations and can be configured or disabled from settings.
A cluttered PR backlog slows everyone down.
Following a successful Early Access, automatic closing of Open Source Fix PRs is now generally available. What's more, this feature will be turned on by default across all of our customers so your team spends less time triaging stale pull requests and more time shipping.
Whether a developer manually applied a fix, removed the dependency, or a transitive update resolved the issue, Snyk catches it during your next recurring test and closes the outdated PR. We also drop a comment on the PR explaining exactly which issues were resolved, so your team always has the right context without the extra noise.
How it works:
Snyk checks your open Fix PRs during recurring tests.
If the targeted dependency was removed, updated transitively, or fixed manually, the PR is automatically closed.
Snyk leaves a comment detailing the resolved issues so your team knows exactly why it was closed.
A Fix PR is only closed if all issues are resolved—if some remain, Snyk leaves the PR open so nothing falls through the cracks.
What's new at GA: With the general availability rollout, this feature is now enabled by default for all organizations. Administrators who prefer to manage closures manually can opt out from the settings page. You can now also configure the maximum number of obsolete PRs Snyk will close per day. giving you control of your workflow, a top piece of feedback from Early Access. We hope you enjoy cleaner, more actionable backlogs!
