Merge checks

By configuring merge checks, you ensure that only the pull requests that meet the specified conditions can be merged into the target branch.

Note:

Access to this feature is limited to users who already have access to CI Manager.

Default configuration

Merge check configuration is defined on the project level and, by default, inherited by each repository. You can customize this configuration separately for each repository in your project.

Note that the merge check configuration applies to all the branches within a repository.

You can configure the following merge checks:

Merge check	Description	Default configuration
All reviewers approve	Blocks the merge until all the reviewers approve the pull request.	Disabled
Minimum approvals	Blocks the merge until the pull request receives at least the specified number of approvals.	Disabled
Minimum successful builds	Blocks the merge until there is at least the specified number of successful builds.	Disabled
No needs work status	Blocks the merge if any reviewer marked the pull request as needs work.	Disabled
No incomplete tasks	Blocks the merge if there are any incomplete tasks.	Disabled

Edit configuration

To edit merge check configuration for a repository:

1. Select a star system.

2. From Apps, select Repository Settings or select it from your pinned apps.

3. Go to the Merge checks tab.

4. Select a repository.

5. Select a new value from the drop-down list: Enabled, Disabled, or Inherited.

   For Minimum approvals and Minimum successful builds, the default value is 1. To change this value, use Edit merge check.

You can also configure merge checks with the Repository Settings API.
