policy-bot is a GitHub App that enforces configurable approval policies on pull requests by reporting a status check. It supports complex rules based on reviewers, files, authors, and branches, combined with and/or logic, configured via a policy.yml file in each repository.
Use cases
- require reviews from specific teams before merging
- enforce different approval rules based on changed files
- combine multiple approval rules with and/or conditions
- auto-approve pull requests meeting certain conditions
- set up required status checks for code review policy
- view detailed approval status of a pull request
When to choose
- GitHub's native required reviews are too simple for your workflow
- you need file-, author-, or branch-based approval rules
- you want policy-as-code configured per repository
- you need a self-hosted GitHub App with a status-check UI
When to avoid
- you don't use GitHub
- you only need simple required reviews
- you want a fully managed SaaS without self-hosting
