- New repository settings allow maintainers to configure pull request access.
- Option to disable pull requests entirely, hiding the pull requests tab and preventing new or existing pull requests from being viewed or created.
- Useful for mirror repositories, read-only codebases, or projects sharing work publicly without managing contributions.
- Option to restrict pull request creation to collaborators only, allowing only users with write access to create new pull requests.
- Helps manage contribution quality during critical phases or when tighter control over submissions is needed.
- Settings available for all public and private repositories under Settings > General > Features.
- Mobile app UI changes coming soon; currently, disabling pull requests hides the tab but prevents new submissions.
- Temporary interaction limits can still be used to limit activity from certain users on public repositories.
- Learn more about managing pull request settings and share feedback via the Community discussion.
