Maintain code quality at scale with project-level branch restrictions
May 5, 2023Gayatri Ramesh

Summary
This post introduces project-level branch restrictions in Bitbucket Cloud, allowing administrators to apply a standard set of rules and checks (including merge settings like approval requirements, build status, and resolved tasks) to all repositories within a project. This contrasts with the previous per-repository configuration, offering streamlined administration, improved collaboration, enhanced security, easier onboarding, and simplified auditing. The post details the steps to configure these project-level restrictions, noting that repository-level settings can override project-level ones.
