Branch protection and merge rules?

[hannah]

Hey folks, do we want to enable branch protection? and do we want a certain # of reviews to merge stuff? attn: @rougier

[Jody Klymak]

I think our policy has been @rougier merges. It he can relinquish that if he likes, in which case I think one review is ok unless a re-architecture.

I'm not familiar with branch protection so I cannot really answer. Note that I'm late on GitHub notifications so do not wait for my review if too late (or you can mail me if really urgent)

Branch protection means that GitHub will disallow pushing directly to main (well technically whichever branch you want) & won't let folks edit directly on main. https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/defining-the-mergeability-of-pull-requests/about-protected-branches

Thanks for the explanation. Not strong opinion on that, I'll follow your advice and expertise.
