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
