Use a CODEOWNERS file in the default branch.
You can use a CODEOWNERS file to define individuals or teams that are responsible for code in a repository. When a pull request is created, code owners for the base branch are automatically requested for review.
A CODEOWNERS file can be created in the repository root, .github/
, or docs/
directories.
Consider creating a CODEOWNERS file in the default branch. Additionally consider creating CODEOWNERS files for each protected branch.
