Required Status Check

A CI check that must pass before a pull request can be merged into a protected branch.

Definition

Status checks are reported by CI systems or apps via the Checks or Statuses API. Making them required enforces quality gates on merge.

Example

The 'build-and-test' workflow job is set as a required check on main.

Exam tip

Required checks are configured on the branch rule, not inside the workflow file.
