Branch Guardian installs statistics

Your very own branch guardian: A GitHub App to automatically protect the main branches in an organisation's repos.

This app listens for web hook events from your organization to know when a repository has been created.

When a new repository is created, the app automatically creates protections for the main branch, and then notifies the account owner with an @mention in an issue within the repository that outlines the protections that were added.

How to use it

• Install the GitHub app on your organisation's account. • Create a new repository in your organisation (make sure you initialise the new repository with a README.md!) • The GitHub app will automatically create a branch protection rule for the main branch of each new repository under your organisation. • The app will also automatically create an issue in the new repository, tagging the org admins and notifying them of the new branch protection rules.

Tips:

READMEs: Always initialise your new repo with a README.md file. Otherwise, there are no branches to protect!

Private repositories are only for Team plans: Make sure your organisation is on a team plan if you're creating a private repository. Otherwise, you won't be able to create a branch protection rule or assign reviewers for pull requests!
