Set a branch's protection rules

with GitHub · Software Construction Management

Use GitHub: its GitHub v3 REST Repos API lets you set a branch's protection rules in a single step (PUT /repos/{owner}/{repo}/branches/{branch}/protection). capabilities.work can help you get signed up and connected.

  • How do I protect a branch so it requires reviews and passing checks before merging?
  • Can I require a linear history and block force pushes on a branch?
  • Does replacing branch protection overwrite the users and teams allowed to push?
Say it to your AI assistant
  • Protect {branch} in {owner}/{repo} with status checks {required_status_checks} and reviews {required_pull_request_reviews}.
  • Replace the protection on {branch} in {owner}/{repo}, enforcing it for admins: {enforce_admins}.
  • Require linear history ({required_linear_history}) on {branch} of {owner}/{repo} in its protection rules.
