Branch restrictions setup

[jang shin]

I want to protect the main branch from NoMerge_* branches, and set the branch restrictions.

Here's what I expect:

Merging from 'NoMerge_*' to 'main' : Blocked

Merging from 'main' to 'NoMergw_* : allowed.

However, I was able to merge 'NoMerge_TPR20681' into 'main'.

$ git merge NoMerge_TPR20681
Updating 4aa9c40..bada640
Fast-forward
sst20604 | 8 ++++----
sst20681 | 8 ++++----
2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-)
$ git branch
NoMerge_TPR20681
* main
$

How can I configure Git to block merges from any 'NoMerge_*' branches into 'main'?

Hi @jang shin ,

Branch restrictions are based only on *destination*. So instead of protecting 'NoMerge_*' you need to protect 'main'.
