GitHub Branch Protection Disable Bypass

Question

Starting to setup branch protection rules for our Main branches and currently have the following options enabled:

• Require a pull request before merging

  • Require approvals = 1

• Require conversation resolution before merging

However I noticed in a PR there was an option to "Merge without waiting for requirements to be met (bypass branch protection)":

Is there a way to disable this option for all users? I did see an option for "Allow specified actors to bypass required pull requests", but is not really the same thing.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

It's still in branch protection rules as mentioned in the accepted answer above, but its worded slightly different now.

Answer 2

In the branch protection rules, there's a setting "Include administrators". Make sure to enable that as well.

More information can be found in the docs.
