Extension summary
This extension helps you control GitHub PR merge strategies based on source and destination branches and repos. Since GitHub doesn't support this feature, I built it to prevent mistakes, like using the wrong merge strategy. For example, I squash all merges except when merging to master, but sometimes I make a mistake in the flow. This extension ensures that doesn't happen. You can define rules with exact branch names, wildcards, or patterns, making it flexible for different scenarios.
Example Restriction Rules:
- You can specify exact names for the repository and branches.
- Use * to apply the rule to all repositories or branches.
- Use wildcards like company-name/* to match all repositories starting with 'company-name' or feature/* for all branches starting with 'feature/'.
- You can combine these options, such as using * for the repository, an exact name for the source branch, and a wildcard for the destination branch, or any combination of these.
