Purpose

Requiring pull requests and code reviews ensures higher code quality and security by allowing multiple team members to catch bugs, inefficiencies, and potential vulnerabilities before code is merged. It also promotes collaboration, knowledge sharing, and accountability within the team. This process helps prevent issues in production and maintains adherence to coding standards.

2. In "Branche"s, click "Add Rule".
3. Enter the branch name (e.g. "main") in the branch name pattern field.
4. Enable: "Require a pull request before merging"
