GitHub code coverage merge protection for pull requests

PreviewJun 30, 2026VerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

You can now use branch rulesets to block pull requests from merging when test coverage drops below thresholds you set. You can set a minimum coverage percentage, a maximum allowed drop from the default branch, or both. You can start in evaluate mode to understand impact first, then switch to active mode when you’re ready to enforce merge protection.
