Exclude Files from PullRequest Review
You may wish to restrict certain files/directories from ever being reviewed by engineers in the PullRequest reviewer network.
This can be done by adding a .pullrequestignore configuration file to the root directory of your repository.
The formatting and behavior is nearly identical to a conventional gitignore. When a pull or merge request is sent to our network to be reviewed, and files involved in the code changes that meet restriction criteria will be excluded in the diff sent to PullRequest.
If all files involved in a pull or merge request is restricted per rules defined in the .pullrequestignore, it will not be sent to the PullRequest network to be reviewed at all.
Say a repository contains the following rules defined in .pullrequestignore:
packages/legacy-service/**.html
And a pull request is opened involving changes to the following files:
packages/new-service/Helpers.jspackages/legacy-service/Helpers.jssrc/frontend/about.htmlsrc/components/Routes/Authentication.jsx
Here's what would be included in the diff sent to PullRequest:
FILE | EXPOSURE |
| ✔️ INCLUDED |
| ⛔ NOT INCLUDED |
| ⛔ NOT INCLUDED |
| ✔️ INCLUDED |
