Block merge from master branch

Hey there,

thanks for gitea. It is a great tool.

We have feature branches that are derived from master. We do port back fixes into master but we never merge master into a feature branch. Today a developer did exactly this and I would like to ask if it is possible to disallow this by using branch protection or something similar.

So I don’t to disallow merging in general (we already use branch protection for this) but I would like to forbid merging from master for all users except owners.

Regards
Christian

I don’t think this is possible. I’m however curious about why merging master into a feature branch created a problem.

Hi,

sorry you are right. This is no problem with feature branches. But it is a problem with release Branches. We don’t want to have any new Features from master in there.

Regards
