Protected branches#

You can define a list of protected branch names on a repository. Names can use wildcards (*).

Examples#

Get the list of protected branches for a project:

p_branches = project.protectedbranches.list()

Get a single protected branch:

p_branch = project.protectedbranches.get('main')

Update a protected branch:

p_branch.allow_force_push = True p_branch.save()

Create a protected branch:

p_branch = project.protectedbranches.create({
    'name': '*-stable',
    'merge_access_level': gitlab.const.AccessLevel.DEVELOPER,
    'push_access_level': gitlab.const.AccessLevel.MAINTAINER
})

Create a protected branch with more granular access control:

p_branch = project.protectedbranches.create({
    'name': '*-stable',
    'allowed_to_push': [{"user_id": 99}, {"user_id": 98}],
    'allowed_to_merge': [{"group_id": 653}],
    'allowed_to_unprotect': [{"access_level": gitlab.const.AccessLevel.MAINTAINER}]
})

Delete a protected branch:

project.protectedbranches.delete('*-stable')
# or
p_branch.delete()
