Mergify News: Merge Protections & Chrome Extension
Today, we are thrilled to announce not one but two new features to illuminate your day!
Introducing Merge Protections 🛡️
Designed to complement GitHub’s branch protection and rulesets, Merge Protections allows for advanced customization and control over your merge workflows, addressing the specific needs of your projects. While GitHub’s native branch protection and rulesets provide a strong foundation, their customization options can be somewhat limited. This is where Mergify steps in. Merge Protections offers the flexibility to define nuanced conditions that the native system can’t handle.
- Advanced Conditions: Create highly specific rules based on any pull request metadata.
- Dependencies: Manage dependencies between pull requests seamlessly.
- Scheduled Merges: Ensure merges happen at the right time.
- Freeze: Schedule one-time or recurring total or partial freezes for your repository.
This powerful feature is available straight from your Mergify dashboard. For more details, check out our documentation.
Announcing the Mergify Chrome Extension! 🎉
We’re also excited to launch the Mergify Chrome Extension! This handy tool adds new buttons to your GitHub UI, giving you fast access to Mergify commands and shortcuts to your dashboard. It’s light, non-intrusive, and designed to enhance your workflow effortlessly.

And as always, happy merging! 🦾
