About managing rulesets for an organization

After creating a ruleset at the organization level, you can make changes to the ruleset to alter how people can interact with the targeted repositories. For example, you can add rules to better protect the branches or tags in those repositories, or you can switch your ruleset from "Evaluate" mode to "Active" after testing its effects on the contributor experience for your repositories. Organizational rulesets that apply to branches of a repository will no longer allow the repository administrator to rename branches of the targeted repository or change the default branch to another branch. Repository administrators may create and delete branches so long as they have the appropriate permissions.

Delegated bypass for push rulesets lets you control who can bypass push protection and which blocked pushes should be allowed.

With delegated bypass, contributors to a repository must request "bypass privileges" when pushing commits that contain restricted content. The request is sent to a designated group of reviewers, who either approve or deny the request to bypass push rules.

If the request to bypass push rules is approved, the contributor can push the commit containing restricted content. If the request is denied, the contributor must remove the content from the commit (or commits) containing the restricted content before pushing again.

To configure delegated bypass, organization owners or repository administrators first create a "bypass list". The bypass list includes specific roles and teams, such as team or repository administrators, who oversee requests to bypass push protection. For more information, see Managing rulesets for repositories in your organization and About rulesets.

You can use the REST and GraphQL APIs to manage rulesets. For more information, see REST API endpoints for rules and Mutations.

Editing a ruleset

You can edit a ruleset to change parts of the ruleset, such as the name, bypass permissions, or rules. You can also edit a ruleset to change its status, such as if you want to enable or temporarily disable a ruleset.

1. In the upper-right corner of GitHub, select your profile photo, then click Your organizations.

2. Next to the organization, click Settings.

3. In the left sidebar, in the "Code, planning, and automation" section, click Repository, then click Rulesets.

   

4. On the "Rulesets" page, click the name of the ruleset you want to edit.

5. Change the ruleset as required. For information on the available rules, see Available rules for rulesets.

6. At the bottom of the page, click Save changes.

Deleting a ruleset

1. In the upper-right corner of GitHub, select your profile photo, then click Your organizations.

2. Next to the organization, click Settings.

3. In the left sidebar, in the "Code, planning, and automation" section, click Repository, then click Rulesets.

   

4. Click the name of the ruleset you want to delete.

5. To the right of the ruleset's name, select , then click Delete ruleset.

   

Using ruleset history

You can view all the changes to a ruleset and revert back to a specific iteration. You can also download a JSON file containing the ruleset's configuration at a specific iteration. The bypass list of a ruleset is excluded from the exported JSON file.

1. In the upper-right corner of GitHub, select your profile photo, then click Your organizations.

2. Next to the organization, click Settings.

3. In the left sidebar, in the "Code, planning, and automation" section, click Repository, then click Rulesets.

   

4. To view the history of changes to the ruleset, select to the right of the ruleset's name, then click History.

   

5. To the right of the specific iteration, select , then click Compare changes, Restore, or Download.

   

Importing a ruleset

You can import a ruleset from another repository or organization using the exported JSON file from the previous section. This can be useful if you want to apply the same ruleset to multiple repositories or organizations.

1. In the upper-right corner of GitHub, select your profile photo, then click Your organizations.

2. Next to the organization, click Settings.

3. In the left sidebar, in the "Code, planning, and automation" section, click Repository, then click Rulesets.

   

4. Select the New ruleset dropdown, then click Import a ruleset.

   

5. Open the exported JSON file.

6. Review the imported ruleset and click Create.

Viewing insights for rulesets

You can view insights for rulesets to see how rulesets are affecting the repositories in your organization. On the "Rule Insights" page, you will see a timeline of the following user actions. You can use filters to find what you're looking for.

• Actions that have been checked against one or more rulesets and passed.
• Actions that have been checked against one or more rulesets and failed.
• Actions where someone has bypassed one or more rulesets.

If a ruleset is running in "Evaluate" mode, you can see actions that would have passed or failed if the ruleset had been active.

1. In the upper-right corner of GitHub, select your profile photo, then click Your organizations.

2. Next to the organization, click Settings.

3. In the left sidebar, in the "Code, planning, and automation" section, click Repository, then click Rule insights.

   

4. On the "Rule insights" page, use the dropdown menus at the top of the page to filter the actions by ruleset, repository, actor, and time period.

5. To see which specific rules failed or required a bypass, click , then expand the name of the ruleset.

   

Managing requests to bypass push rules

You can view and manage all requests for bypass privileges on the “Bypass Requests" page, located under the Rules settings of the repository.

1. On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the repository.

2. Under your repository name, click Settings. If you cannot see the "Settings" tab, select the dropdown menu, then click Settings.

   

3. Click Bypass Requests.

You can filter requests by approver (member of the bypass list), requester (contributor making the request), timeframe, and status. The following statuses are assigned to a request:

Status	Description
Cancelled	The request has been cancelled by the contributor.
Completed	The request has been approved and the commit(s) have been pushed to the repository.
Denied	The request has been reviewed and denied.
Expired	The request has expired. Requests are valid for 7 days.
Open	The request has either not yet been reviewed, or has been approved but the commit(s) have not been pushed to the repository.

When a contributor requests bypass privileges to push a commit containing restricted content, members of the bypass list all receive an email notification containing a link to the request. Members of the bypass list then have 7 days to review and either approve or deny the request before the request expires.

The contributor is notified of the decision by email and must take the required action. If the request is approved, the contributor can push the commit containing the restricted content to the repository. If the request is denied, the contributor must remove the restricted content from the commit in order to successfully push the commit to the repository.
