Overview
PR Gates allow you to control software security and quality by configuring rules to block pull requests with substandard code from being merged. Preventing pull requests with substandard code from being merged can ensure that the code that is eventually deployed to production adheres to high organizational standards, reducing incidents and minimizing unwanted behaviors.
PR Gates, similar to Datadog Monitors, consume data and findings output by compatible Datadog products and apply conditions to these findings to determine if a PR meets your organizational standards. To prevent unnecessary impact on your developers’ velocity, PR Gates only block on violations introduced by the code changes of the PR in question, not on findings that already existed in your repository before the PR and its branch were created. For example, if you configure PR Gates to block on Critical-severity code vulnerabilities, PR Gates fails and blocks the PR only if a developer introduces a new Critical code vulnerability as part of that PR.
You can configure PR Gates rules for the following categories. Please note that the compatible product must be running on your desired repositories before PR Gates can begin taking action on the relevant PRs:
After creating PR Gates rules, Datadog will automatically create checks on your pull requests using the GitHub integration or Azure DevOps Source Code integration. Set those checks as required in GitHub or Azure DevOps when you are ready to enforce them.
PR Gates are not supported in pull requests in public repositories, or on pull requests targeting a destination branch in a different repository from the source branch (that is, forked repositories trying to merge into the main repository).
Rule types
PR Gates offers the following rule types:
You can create rules to block code changes from being merged when a pull request’s modified lines introduce at least one new code vulnerability or code quality violation of a certain severity.
You can create rules to block code changes from being merged when a pull request’s modified lines introduce at least one new library vulnerability of a certain severity or at least one new library with a forbidden license.
You can create rules to block code changes from being merged when a pull request’s modified lines cause the repository’s overall code coverage to fall below a certain percentage or if the patch coverage of those lines is below a certain threshold.
You can create rules to block code changes from being merged when a pull request’s modified lines introduce at least one new infrastructure as code (IaC) vulnerability of a certain severity.
You can manage and update PR Gates rules on the PR Gates Rules page. Improve your security and quality practices based on your project requirements and risk tolerances.
You can see all of the rules defined by the organization.
