Protecting Branch Quality Through Governance

APIGit’s governance framework extends to the critical pull request (PR) review process, providing a powerful checkpoint that prevents non-compliant API specifications from reaching protected branches. This automated validation ensures all merged changes maintain your organization’s established standards.

Automated Validation Process

When a pull request contains changes to API specification files, APIGit automatically evaluates these files against your governance rulesets. This seamless integration into your workflow:

1. Identifies governance violations before code merging
2. Provides detailed compliance reports for each modified specification
3. Helps maintain consistent API quality across all repositories

Reviewing Governance Results

To access governance validation during PR review:

1. Navigate to the PR containing API specification changes
2. Select the Governance tab within the PR interface
3. Review the comprehensive list of violations across all modified API specification files
4. Use these findings to make informed approval decisions

This strategic integration point serves as an ideal enforcement mechanism for enterprise standards, ensuring that all API changes meet quality and compliance requirements before they reach production environments.
