We have a situation where we use GitHub and after a PR has been approved but before

atlantis apply

has been commented on the PR, a dev might merge the PR. Is there a way to prevent the PR from being merged until after

atlantis apply

? Or even just require Atlantis to do the merging and closing of the PR after a successful apply.

You could make a branch protection rule to require specific status checks to be successful, e.g. the

atlantis apply

status check that's reported back to GitHub.

yep branch protection rule on status checks

We just moved into GH, so still a lot to learn. Thnx.

another way to goose that is usage of CODEOWNERS

Added to Ben and my answer: It's worth noting that branch protection rules are only available for paid teams on GitHub, if I remember correctly. If you're not on a paid team, you can still limit permissions to control who has merge rights, and you can consider allowing only Atlantis to merge using the automerge feature as an option.

Can we do this with GitLab too?

ooo, I'd love to be able to block merges without an apply but have not figured out how to do that yet
