Flipull

Flipull is a tool for automating the generating of pull requests for build pipelines. It is designed to be used with a tool like GitHub Actions or CircleCI to trigger pull request creations for other repositories as a part of a build.

The name is an homage to a Game Boy game from the 90s called Flipull.
