About Never Merge

Never Merge helps prevent accidental merges on important GitHub repositories. Choose the GitHub organizations, users, or specific repositories you want to protect. On matching pull request pages, Never Merge hides merge controls such as “Merge pull request,” “Squash and merge,” and “Rebase and merge.” When you intentionally need to merge, use the extension popup to snooze protection for the current repository for 5, 15, or 30 minutes. Protection automatically resumes when the timer expires. Features: - Hide GitHub merge buttons on selected organizations or repositories - Protect exact repos like owner/repository - Protect entire GitHub owners or organizations - Temporary repo-level snooze - Resume protection manually at any time - Works with GitHub’s dynamic pull request pages - No external servers - No analytics - No tracking Never Merge is designed as a lightweight safety guardrail for developers working across production, corporate, or high-risk repositories.
