Merge esign request

hi everyone my name is kirti sek i'm a solution architect with gitlab in today's partner technical bootcamp session we'll be going over code management gitlab brings an opinionated workflow which guides your organization to success with devops git is the fundamental piece of this and with a merge request driven strategy we can enable an organization to collaborate in a specific place transparently and use automation to increase efficiency we build on this by enabling customizable reports code scans review apps and defining a very specific place to get feedback on changes now this process all begins with issues and in the prerequisite video for this bootcamp we covered issues boards and labels so i won't go into too much detail here suffice to say the issues define the work we'd like to have done the merge request approvals process enables a workflow to be implemented that balances the requirement for speed while still supporting the necessary gates and controls merge requests are a big part of managing code and in addition to that we'll cover a few other features that make merge requests even more useful the merge request approvals feature is only available in paid tiers so it's not supported in the core or free versions of git lab merge request approvals require specific users to give their consent and agreement to the changes made in a code these are presented via the merge request without merge request approvals orgs would depend on the honor system or some other process to find outside of gitlab when it comes to accepting code changes and not enforced within gitlab if we look at the screen here we can see this merge request would require four more approvals from the different teams listed below approval rules apply to branches and this is useful with long-lived environment-based branches it's possible to choose which approval rules apply to a given branch and have different number of approvals required we also have several other configuration options we can apply to merge request approvals we can allow approvals to be overridden we can require a new approval every time there's a commit and several others around how approval policies should be handled protected branches allow you to apply read and write permissions to your entire repository or specific branches we can limit creation of files to users with maintainer or owner level permission and we can restrict pushes to users only with the allowed permission protected branches enforce the usage of merge requests and they act as an additional gate to prevent forced pushes or accidental deleting of branches wherever needed we can combine this with a code owner's file or merge request approvals to create a secure and tightly enforced process around code changes the code owner's file is only available in paid tiers so it's not supported in the core or free versions of gitlab the code owner's file lives in your repository and it defines ownership of specific files or paths...
