Mergify Merge Protections

Merge protections control when PRs are allowed to merge:

Protection Scope How
Depends-On Per-PR dependency chain Depends-On: header in PR body
Merge-After Per-PR time gate Merge-After: header in PR body
Scheduled Freezes Repository-wide or conditional CLI commands (mergify freeze)

Depends-On and Merge-After are built-in — just add the header to the PR description (or commit message body when using mergify stack push) and Mergify enforces them automatically, no .mergify.yml configuration needed. Freezes are managed via CLI commands.

Depends-On

Block a PR from merging until one or more other PRs are merged first.

Syntax

Add one or more Depends-On: lines to the PR body:
