Working with approval rule templates
You can create approval rules for pull requests. However, if you want to have one or more approval rules automatically applied to some or all of the pull requests created in repositories, use approval rule templates. Approval rule templates help you customize your development workflows across repositories so that different branches have appropriate levels of approvals and control. You can define different rules for production and development branches. Those rules are applied every time a pull request that matches the rule conditions is created.
An approval rule template can be associated with one or more repositories in the AWS
Region where they are
created. When a template is associated with a repository, it automatically creates
approval rules for pull
requests in that repository as part of creating the pull request. Just like a single
approval rule, an approval
rule template defines an approval rule structure, including the number of required
approvals and an optional
pool of users from which approvals must come. Unlike an approval rule, you can also
define destination
references (the branch or branches), also known as
branch filters. If you define destination references, then only
pull requests whose destination branch names match the specified branch names (destination
references) in the
template have rules created for them. So, for example, if you specify refs/heads/master
as a destination reference, the approval rule defined in the template is only applied
to pull requests if the
destination branch is master.
