What does the "Validate pull requests targeting the source branch" checkbox do?

Validate pull requests

For this feature you need to have a CI job from a source control branch to a Salesforce org (excluding scratch orgs). Once selected, this will run a validation from any PR against the Salesforce org selected.

You can see the result of this validation either in Gearset or your Git provider. To find it from Gearset, locate the CI job from the Continuous integration dashboard, and select the expand arrow on the right.

You can see a list of open PRs with the related validation result next to each. As well as the option to re-run the validation.

To find it from your Git provider (In this example GitHub) go to the open PR, and expand the checks.

If the option Validate pull request targeting the source branch is not enabled in the CI job Edit settings, Gearset will not run the validation automatically.

Instead, there will be an option given to users to run the validation manually.

The option to Run validation manually will show up on a Pull Request in Pipelines UI:

As well as on the CI dashboard for a given under CI job in question. By selecting the Run now button, you'll manually initiate the validation for your Pull Request.

Note: In your VCS, under checks, no Gearset checks will show automatically if the checkbox is not selected.
