I need more people from my team reviewing prs and I can’t find the setting to increase this limit.

👋 Welcome!

Hi @breadbaker - multiple reviewers should automatically be available in a public repository on a free account, or on any repository on a Pro, Team or Enterprise plan.

@canuckjacq And where is the setting to increase the maximum number of reviewers?

[marksark]

this is stupid

Maybe they are finding more ways to earn money. This is what happens when an open-source product sits on the lap of a big giant.

that's pretty lame, I moved a repo from a personal private repo to an org private one and now we can only assign 1 reviewer. Cleraly anyone can jump in and review but you cannot assign it. Ridiculous.

My account on a Team plan have this issue with a private repository. According to this answer, it shouldn't. Am I missing something?

Hello @breadbaker @joeflack4 @JeremiahTilse @TugberkS , if you're on a public repository on a free account, or on any repository on a Pro, Team, or Enterprise plan, there's repository settings that needs to be turned on so you can choose the number of reviewers it defaults to.

I'd recommend going to the repository settings within branches to set up a branch protection rule. I'd recommend asking an admin in your organization who has access to make changes here.

I hope this is helpful!

Thanks. It's not that I'm looking to require a certain number of approvals, though. I simply want to add multiple reviewers.

@joeflack4 have you managed to add more than 1 reviewer?

[joeflack4]

In some cases, yes, but not all. I am a member of a bunch of different organizations / repos. It's usually the case that I cannot.

I have the same problem. Is it a bug or something else?

Hi, does anyone has increased the number of reviewer of PRs?

[xia-stan]

My team had up to 15 reviewers per PR on a free plan up until June 13, 2024. In fact, some of our open PRs that have multiple reviewers still have them listed. No indication about why we can only use one reviewer on new PRs now. Based on @Blobson 's post on March 7th it seems my team was living with a "luxury" that we shouldn't have had.

[edwardcastle]

Thanks!! 💫

Same here, we just noticed that we have not been able to have multiple reviewers/assignees for the last few days.

[JC3]

Yeah same situation here, no multiple reviewers for last few days.

[Blobson]

It's not allowed on Free plan for private repositories:

[edwardcastle]

Thanks 🙏

Is this a new limitation?

[xia-stan]

Based on what I can tell this limitation was rolled out inconsistently to users and organizations. Based on the GitHub docs it's been a limit for at least a year.
