Maintainers

The list of approvers is stored in a MAINTAINERS text file in the root of your repository. There are multiple supported file formats to choose from.

Username, separated by newline:

bradrydzewski
lindaortega
matthewnorris

Username and email address, separated by newline:

bradrydzewski <[email protected]>
lindaortega <[email protected]>
matthewnorris <[email protected]>

FullName, email address and username, separated by newline:

Brad Rydzewski <[email protected]> (@bradrydzewski)
Linda Ortega <[email protected]> (@lindaortega)
Matthew Norris <[email protected]> (@mattnorris)

Toml format inspired by the Docker project:

[people]
    [people.bradrydzewski]
        name = "Brad Rydzewski"
        email = "[email protected]"
        login = "bradrydzewski"

    [people.bradrydzewski]
        name = "Linda Ortega"
        email = "[email protected]"
        login = "lindaortega"

    [people.mattnorris]
        name = "Matt Norris"
        email = "[email protected]"
        login = "mattnorris"

You may prefer to maintain a single list of maintainers across all repositories in your organization. When no maintainers file is found the system will fallback to the maintainers team in your organization:
