Forbit creating Other branches types

Question

Hi

I've played a bit with branching model and branch permissions in BB Cloud and it looks like there is no way to achieve the following thing

* Forbid creating branches in the root folder (aka Other branch type)
* Allowing creating branches only in the folders specified in Branching Model e.g. feature/, bugfix/, release/

Plus if I understood the branch permissions overlapping the following configuration won't allow me to disable any changes in branch release/version_0.12 while I need to freeze this branch somehow

Does anybody know how I can achieve my requirements in BB Cloud?

So, nobody knows?

Hi Ana

What do you mean by the root folder? Do you mean the master branch?

I mean forbid creating branches like

/somebranch1

/somebranch2

and allowing creating branches only in

/release/*

/hotfix/*

/feature/*

so there is only master and dev only in the root and all feature branches reside in their folders

Are you familiar with Branch permissions for Cloud? You will be able to set who can write or read from a certain branch, would that help you?

I'm familiar with that and can't find the way how to

While allowing creating and deleting branches in /release/ folder

disable any changes and pull requests in some particular branch in that folder e.g. /release/somebranch1

According to branch permissions overlapping definition it seems not possible

Hi Alex,

What do you mean by the root folder? Do you mean the master branch?

Are you familiar with Branch permissions for Cloud? You will be able to set who can write or read from a certain branch, would that help you?

You'll also be able to restrict who can merge to release/version_0.12, so the changes won't be merged until you decide to do so.

Let us know if that's what you were looking for!

Cheers,

Ana
