Features & Capabilities

This extension, "GitHub Merge Guardian," is a tool designed to prevent incorrect merges on GitHub's pull request page. With this extension, you can easily control the merge method for pull requests. Add configurations to apply the appropriate merge method based on the combination of repositories and branches.

Features:

Users can add multiple configurations consisting of repository name, base branch, compare branch, and merge strategy.
An asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard in each item.
When the configuration matches, the color of the merge button is changed to prevent incorrect merges.
The extension only changes the button color, allowing merges with strategies other than the specified one.
The color is customizable.

Example:

For merges into the develop branch, use squash merge by default. However, for merges from release/* branches, use create merge commit.

User Reviews

It does what is says it will do. And that's very helpful. I just wish it didn't bring so many dependencies with it, given the sensitivity of the pages it interacts with. I would happily use an uglier UI if it meant fewer dependencies.

Is GitHub Merge Guardian Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

GitHub Merge Guardian requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

GitHub Merge Guardian is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
