Test with Actions

Create workflows that enable you to use Continuous Integration (CI) for your projects.

Step 4: Add branch protections

Great job uploading test reports! 🥳

Take a look at the merge box, you'll notice you can merge this even though the review process hasn't been met.

Protected branches ensure that collaborators on your repository cannot make irrevocable changes to branches. Enabling protected branches also allows you to enable other optional checks and requirements, like required status checks and required reviews.

⌨️ Activity: Add branch protections

1. Go to Branches settings. You can navigate to that page manually by selecting the right-most tab in the top of the repository called Settings and then clicking Branches.
2. Click Add classic branch protection rule under "Branch protection rules".
3. Type main in Branch name pattern.
4. Check Require a pull request before merging.
5. Uncheck Require approvals.
6. Check Require status checks to pass before merging.
7. Check all build and test jobs that you'd like to see in the newly visible gray box.
8. Click Create.
9. Once you turn on branch protection, Actions can no longer push directly to the main branch. Wait about 20 seconds and then go to the ci branch. GitHub Actions will automatically update to the next step on the ci branch. You'll need to follow instructions on this branch.
