Branch Write Protect Plugin

Installation

Usage

After the restart you should see a "Branch write protect" tab for each repository. On this tab you are able to set branch write protections for users and groups. Here are some rules for the usage of the branchwp plugin:

• Administrators and repository owner have always write access.
• Grant write permissions on the "Permission" tab for every user or group who should write to any branch in the repository.
• If the branchwp plugin is enabled, nobody can write to the repository expect administrators, repository owners and the specified rules.

Notes

The branchwp plugin works only for Git and Mercurial, for Subversion have a look at the pathwp-plugin.

Since version 1.2 of the plugin it is possible to define deny permissions and placeholders for branch names. Deny permissions are handled always before allow permissions. At the state of version 1.2 the following placeholders are available:

• {username} - will be replaced with the username of the current user
• {mail} - will be replaced with the e-mail address of the current user
