Repository rules - Import/Export + History Public Beta!

[patrick-knight]

Is this you?
Is it hard to know who changed your perfect ruleset, and you need to get it back to the way life was?

Are you longing for an easy way to move your rules to a different org?
Or share them with your friends on the internet?

Now in public beta

Import & Export

It's easier to share and reuse rulesets, with the ability to import and export them as a JSON file. So you can build an internal library of rulesets or publicly share you favorite ruleset configs. Which is what we're doing!

Based on some best practices so you can quickly get started with rules in our ruleset recipe repo!

History

Did another admin remove a status check? Was the number of reviews changed? When did that happen? How do I fix this mess?

We're adding a history experience for GitHub Enterprise Cloud customers so you can track changes and revert to historical versions of a ruleset. Before this you would need to parse the audit log to find modifications to a ruleset but might not have permissions to the log or even want to dig through it.

Now, it's easy to see who changed a ruleset, when it happened, and what changed. Then, quickly get back to a known good state.

I don't see the options import or export ruleset. Is there anything I need to do to enable them?

[patrick-knight]

Hey @llucax looks like we missed a few folks in the initial rollout, can you try again? If it's still not working can you let me know so we can do some more investigation.

[llucax]

Yeah, I can see it now, awesome, thanks!

clicking feedback might open in a new tab, imported ruleset was not saved :)

[jurgis-sipols]

although, state was saved when I clicked back, so that's good 👍🏻
