# Track Schema Changes Automatically in Your Pull Requests

**[Neon](https://daily.dev/sources/neontech)** · 5 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Neon has launched the Schema Diff GitHub Action, which automatically compares database schemas between a main Neon branch and a child branch, posting the differences as a comment directly in pull requests. The action triggers on PR events like open, reopen, or new commits, generates an SQL patch summarizing changes, and keeps a single comment updated rather than spamming the PR. It integrates with Neon's branching workflow, allowing developers to test schema changes in isolated environments before merging to production. The action outputs a comment_url for additional automation (e.g., Slack notifications) and is available to all Neon users including the free tier.
