PERTAIN_TORootCause

gh api field flags are awkward for nested branch protection JSON

PERTAIN_TOProblem

I don't know how to add the rule settings for the PR — I created a GitHub Actions workflow that should add a branch protection rule. Outcome: You could pipe a json into "gh api".

PERTAIN_TOSolution

You could pipe a json into "gh api" — required_pull_request_reviews=null. Tension: I don't know how to add the rule settings for the PR.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

A service user cannot directly commit to the master branch because branch protection rules (including status checks) block the push, even after granting the user/role the 'Bypass branch protections' permission. The user also wants to enforce protections while preventing bypassing for certain users.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Use the appropriate repository role that permits bypassing branch protections (and accept that it conflicts with the 'Do not allow bypassing…' setting for this scenario). Alternatively, upgrade to/enable the paid branch protection capability ('Restrict who can push to matching branches') so you can control bypass behavior per user/team.
