Problem to solve
When I want to require everyone to submit merge requests for a protected branch, it is unclear on how to achieve this with the protected branches interface:
Coming from other platforms this could be done with a checkbox.
When looking at GitLab docs https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/protected_branches.html#require-everyone-to-submit-merge-requests-for-a-protected-branch, what needs to be done is to set the groups for allowed to push and allowed to merge:
- From the Allowed to merge list, select
Developers + Maintainers. - From the Allowed to push list, select
No one.
Proposal
The current way of setting up the requirement to use merge requests on a protected branch is indirect.
There should be a clear and direct way to enable the requirement to use merge requests on a protected branch. Some ideas are:
- Add a checkbox or toggle, that says
Require merge requests on protected branches
More ideas welcomed
