About MergeChain: PR merge dependencies
MergeChain brings GitLab-style merge-request dependencies to GitHub pull
requests. Declare that one PR must merge before another, and MergeChain shows
the dependency status right above the merge box and disables the merge button
until every prerequisite has landed.
- Declare "Blocked by" / "Blocks" relationships from a single inline control
- Transitive chains (A → B → C) with cycle detection
- Cross-repo dependencies (owner/repo#123)
- Reverse "depend on this" view, with one-click flip and remove
- Choose where the block appears (top, bottom, left gutter, or sidebar)
- No backend: dependency data is stored in the PR description; your token stays
in your browser and only ever contacts GitHub
Note: the merge block is enforced in your browser; teammates without the
extension can still merge. Install the companion GitHub App (or use a token) to
read and update PRs. Not affiliated with or endorsed by GitHub, Inc.
