I can see from the API that i can merge a pull request, can i check for conflicts first ?

I want to check a pull request to see if it is possible to merge that PR. IE if i were to look in github i would see this

"This branch has conflicts that must be resolved Use the command line"

is there a way to see if a PR has merge conflicts ?

Great API by the way.

There are a couple of fields on the pull request resource that will indicate mergeability. The mergeable field is a Boolean that indicates if the branch can be merged, and mergeable_state will indicate if it's clean, dirty, or unstable.

If the repository is set up for continuous integration, you can use the Status API to check the build status for each commit.

@tphoney, I'm gonna close this one out since it's not an Octokit issue. Feel free to hit us up at support if you've got more questions. 🙇
