dispatch.sr.ht supports various integrations with [GitHub](https://github.com).
Some tips are provided here.

# Configuring branch protection rules on GitHub

If you choose the "auto-merge" setting, builds.sr.ht will attempt to merge the
pull request once the build completes successfully. You will likely want to add
branch protection rules on GitHub to prevent this from happening before the pull
request is reviewed.

To edit your branch protection rules, start by visiting "Branches" in your
repository's settings.

Select "Add rule".

Specify the branches you want the rule to apply to (e.g. "master") and configure
the criteria which must be met for the pull request to be mergeable. For
example, to require the code to be reviewed before merge:

**Important**: if your account is an administrator on this GitHub repository,
attempts to merge will succeed *even if the branch protection rules are unmet*.
You must enable the "Include administrators" option to prevent this.
