This illustration shows the Branches page under Administration. On the left is a list of branches, which you can view by clicking the By Branch or By User button. You can select a repository in the Repository drop-down list, and you can enter a text string in the Branches field to filter branches. On the right, you can specify Branch Options: you can select default reviewers, protect a branch by restricting pushes and merges (including locking the branch) or by not allowing the "--force push" option, or specify branch administrators.
