Branch / Tag protection and Blame File View

Protected branches enforce restrictions on force pushing or merging unless a given number of approvals are obtained on a pull request.

Protected tags allow control over who has permission to create or update Git tags. Each rule allows you to match either an individual tag name, or use an appropriate pattern to control multiple tags at once.

STACKIT Git supports viewing the line-by-line revision history for a file also known as blame view. You can also use git blame on the command line to view the revision history of lines within a file.

  1. Open the file whose line history you want to view.

  2. Click the Blame button in the file header bar.

    The new view shows the line-by-line revision history for a file with author and commit information on the left side.
