Before Merge Protections

Nothing prevents you from merging new code that can introduce new problems. Imagine new code being merged and deployed while you have an ongoing incident.

After Merge Protections

Merge Protections reports extra checks on rules and scheduled freezes you set. In this case, an on-going incident is spotted early on and blocks the merge.

Customizable Merge Rules

Leverage the power of customizable rules to define exactly what makes a pull request mergeable.

Get started

- name: 🧑‍🚒 Hotfix Review Requirements
  if:
    - label = hotfix
  success_conditions:
    - or:
      - "#approved-reviews-by >= 2"
      - approved-reviews-by = @eng-mgr
      - body ~= (Fix|Related).* (INC|ENGINE)-

YAML example configuration

Tailored merge rules

Whether you want to enforce Conventional Commits, require specific labels, respect schedules, or check for certain metadata, you can tailor rules to your unique workflow.

YAML configuration

With an intuitive YAML configuration file stored directly in your repository, your merge rules are versioned, transparent, and easily understood by your entire team.

Since adopting Mergify, our code quality has skyrocketed. Merge Protections serve as a custom gatekeeper for our repository, ensuring only top-quality code gets merged. We've drastically reduced post-deployment bugs, boosting our codebase's confidence.

Intelligent Scheduling and Freeze Periods

Take control of when merges happen with Merge Protections' advanced scheduling features.

Get started

Weekly merge schedule

Set specific days of the week or hours of the day when merges are allowed, ensuring that your team is merging at the most optimal times.

Freeze periods

Block merges during critical periods or national holidays. Define freeze periods that automatically prevent merges, giving you peace of mind during important events.
