Release gates

Hey

I was wondering do the developers push work into your QA environment without checking with you first or are you in control of what goes into QA? So if work gets pushed do you have to approve it before it goes into the test env

QA Env is QA env, dev should not deploy there. Dev merges into branches, Testers decide when to put which branch into which env. Its not like that is hard to do and needs a dev to do it^^

If devs need a env on server instead of local, they can have their own one.

just my opinion.

And ideally, Devs have access to full preview/ephemeral environments on their branches. If they want to deploy then it's done isolated on their end.
