Enforcing code reliability by requiring workflows with GitHub repository rules

GitHub has enhanced its platform to simplify the centralized management of workflows for its users, particularly those using GitHub Enterprise Cloud. By integrating required workflows into GitHub repository rulesets, organizations can enforce that certain workflows run successfully before code can be merged into repositories, thus ensuring adherence to CI/CD best practices. This new feature allows for precise control over which workflows apply, enabling configuration by branch, tag, or specific commit, and offers additional tools like branch targeting, bypass rules, and auditing through Repository Rule Insights. Users can place rules in "Evaluate" mode to test their impact before activation, minimizing disruptions. This advancement aims to streamline the enforcement of code policies across multiple repositories, enhancing the developer experience and building confidence in deployment processes.
