Context
Allowing users to delete protected branches poses a risk of accidental or intentional data loss, potentially disrupting workflows or losing critical history in the repository. Preventing branch deletions ensures that the integrity and availability of important branches, such as the main branch, are preserved.
Description
This check ensures that branch deletions are denied on protected branches by verifying that the
Allow deletions
option is disabled in branch protection rules. Enforcing this rule prevents users with push access from removing critical branches, maintaining the stability and continuity of the repository.Checklist
