GitHub Action
Require User Approval
debug28
Latest version
A GitHub Action automatically checks to make sure that certain required users have approved a pull request.
You need to prepare two YAML files for:
- Reviewers configuration
- Workflow configuration
The format of a configuration file is as follows:
groups:
# The default reviewers
review-group-all: # This group requires all 4 users to approve a PR.
members:
- username1
- username2
- username3
- username4
required: 4 # the number of members from this group that need to approve a PR.
review-group-some: # This group requires any 2 users to approve a PR.
members:
- username5
- username6
- username7
required: 2
review-group-any: #This only requires any one user from this group to approve a PR.
members:
- username8
- username9
required: 1 # the number of members from this group that need to approve a PR.
Important note: Currently, this doesn't check to make sure that the number of required approvals for a group is less than or equal to the number of members specified. Don't set it to require more users than are in the group.
The default configuration file location is .github/require_reviewers.yml but you can override it in your workflow configuration file.
Create a workflow file in .github/workflows (e.g. .github/workflows/require_reviewers.yml):
name: Require User Approval
on:
pull_request_review:
types: [editted, submitted]
jobs:
require_user_approval:
name: Require User Approval
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Request review based on files changes and/or groups the author belongs to
