GitHub adds bulk migration of branch protection rules to rulesets for a repository
GitHub announced that repository owners can now convert all branch protection rules of a repository to rulesets in a single action. This extends the existing ability to convert a single branch protection rule to a ruleset.
Why it matters
Teams using branch protection rules can move an entire repository to rulesets in one step instead of converting each rule individually, reducing manual effort during migration.
Who should care
Engineering teams, DevOps engineers, repository administrators, and maintainers of GitHub-hosted projects
What you can do
Review existing branch protection rules in your repositories and test a bulk conversion to rulesets in a non-critical repository, then verify the resulting ruleset enforcement matches your intended policy.
