Merge freeze on branch #16796
-
|
Many companies recurrently use code freezes or "merge freezes" on the It would be helpful if a merge/push freeze feature was introduced into Github core. This could be something that could be applied to a specified branch and controlled by repo admins. The freeze could have various parameters such as the length of time it should remain in place. I think that this would be a feature that many induviduals and buisnesses would find beneficial, reducing risk and stress within teams. |

Very exciting! 🎉 One thing which I would love to see along with this is to have (simple) filter options, for example: freeze for all pull requests, expect those with a specific label. |

@davidstaheli, it's September now, and it doesn't appear that this feature has been added to the public roadmap. Is it going to be soon? I just wanted to make sure that this new feature wasn't missed. |

Is the new "Lock branch" functionality the answer to this request? |

Lock BranchThe new "lock branch" feature seems to do the trick! Users can now do what some refer to as a "code freeze" and prohibit any changes on a branch during a release, for example. https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/16796#discussioncomment-3927530

But it lacks the scheduling feature. :( @davidstaheli is there any plan to implement a schedule that automatically turns it on or off on a weekly basis? For example, we could add a schedule feature beside this "lock branch" option to enable it on Fridays and disable it on Mondays, as an example. |
