Repository Rulesets

Rulesets protect branches and tags with configurable rules.

Create a Branch Protection Ruleset

bash
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/rulesets --method POST --input - <<'EOF'
{
  "name": "Protect main",
  "target": "branch",
  "enforcement": "active",
  "conditions": {
    "ref_name": {
      "include": ["refs/heads/main"],
      "exclude": []
    }
  },
  "rules": [
    {"type": "pull_request", "parameters": {"required_approving_review_count": 1, "dismiss_stale_reviews_on_push": false, "require_code_owner_review": false, "require_last_push_approval": false, "required_review_thread_resolution": false}},
    {"type": "deletion"},
    {"type": "non_fast_forward"}
  ],
  "bypass_actors": [
    {"actor_id": 5, "actor_type": "RepositoryRole", "bypass_mode": "always"}
  ]
}
EOF

Create a Tag Protection Ruleset

bash
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/rulesets --method POST --input - <<'EOF'
{

    }
  },
  "rules": [
    {"type": "creation"},

    {"type": "deletion"}
  ],
  "bypass_actors": [
    {"actor_id": 5, "actor_type": "RepositoryRole", "bypass_mode": "always"}
  ]
}
EOF

Bypass Actors

Add bypass_actors to allow certain roles to bypass rules:
