Mid Version Control

How can you enforce code review policies on GitHub?

You can enforce reviews and branch protection rules in repository settings under

Settings → Branches → Branch protection rules.

Follow:

You can require:

  • Pull requests before merging
  • At least one approval
  • Passing CI checks (e.g., GitHub Actions)
  • No direct pushes to main

Example:

Your team sets a rule that all PRs must be reviewed by at least one other developer and

must pass automated tests before merging.
