# Configuration

> Instrucions to setup and configure the Direct-to-Queue capability of the Merge Queue.

#### Prerequisites

* Admin access to your GitHub organization
* Installed the core Trunk app and Trunk Sudo app on the target repo
* Configured branch protection using Rulesets (classic branch protection will not work for direct-to-queue)

#### Configure rule sets for Trunk Sudo

Your branch protection configuration must allow Trunk Sudo to bypass the relevant rules when it merges your original pull request.

#### GitHub Rulesets

In GitHub, navigate to **Settings** → **Rules** → **Rulesets**. For every active ruleset that applies to your merge branch:

1. Open the ruleset.
2. Under **Bypass list**, add the **Trunk Sudo** GitHub App.
3. Set its bypass mode to **Exempt**.
4. Save.

#### Verify your setup

The settings page for each Trunk Merge Queue includes a live checklist that validates every piece of the Trunk Sudo configuration end-to-end. **This checklist is the source of truth for whether your setup is correct** - if the checklist is green, the app is ready to merge.

<Info>
  To see this checklist, go to a merge queue in the repo where you are setting up Trunk Sudo, then click the **Settings** tab.
