But, when I commit to other branches, like integration branches (`master`, or ones I specify), my commit messages will be examined against a different set of rules. Branch-specific rules would allow me to move quickly on my feature branches, but apply rigidity to the important `master` branch. ### Proposal My guess is that this would involve quite a bit of effort. It could be done a couple of ways: - making the interface for current push rules (probably not all of them, just ones that make sense for specific brances) take a branch name and allow you to create a set of rules below it. From a UI perspective this would look a lot like how one creates Deploy tokens or adds branch protections. - allowing the customer to build [pre-receive hoooks similar to GitHub](https://github.com/github/platform-samples/tree/master/pre-receive-hooks), but on gitlab.com, and of course in a safe way. (you can already do this if you run your own servers) ### Links / references - Salesforce - https://gitlab.my.salesforce.com/0016100001TCxI2 - https://gitlab.my.salesforce.com/0016100000UL5PBAA1 - Zendesk - https://gitlab.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/110219 - https://gitlab.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/15244 - https://gitlab.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/84134 - https://gitlab.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/196512 - Forum - https://forum.gitlab.com/t/push-rules/24993 - https://forum.gitlab.com/t/push-rule-for-specific-branch-es-only/24890
