Cocov

Protecting the Manifest File

Last updated Feb 26, 2024

As noted in other pages, the manifest file includes all configurations required to run Cocov in a repository, and also how it should behave. Preventing unauthorised access is essential in order to maintain consistency.

In order to do that, repository administrators and maintainers may configure pull requests to enforce reviews from specific people and groups when specific files are changed. To use this feature, refer to the CODEOWNERS documentation on GitHub.

However, setting a CODEOWNERS file is not enough. After you are done and CODEOWNERS is already on your default branch, refer to Protected Branches documentation.
