[Feature] Configure Branch Protection Rules for Main Branch Stability

[kunalverma2512]

Description

Currently, the repository does not enforce branch protection policies on the main branch. This can allow direct pushes, unreviewed merges, unresolved discussions, and unchecked pull requests, increasing the risk of unstable code being merged into the production branch.

To improve repository stability, contribution workflow, and code review quality, we need to configure GitHub Branch Protection Rules for the main branch.

Implementing these protections will help enforce a more professional and maintainable open-source workflow while reducing accidental merges and repository management chaos.

Requirements

Navigate to:

GitHub Repository
→ Settings
→ Branches
→ Add Branch Protection Rule

Branch Protection Rules

Create a protection rule for the following branch:

• main

Enable the following protections:

• Require a pull request before merging
• Require approvals before merging
• Require status checks to pass before merging
• Require conversation resolution before merging

Expected Outcome

After implementation:

• Direct pushes to the main branch should be restricted.
• All changes should go through a Pull Request workflow.
• Pull Requests should require review approval before merging.
• Unresolved review conversations should block merges.
• Failed status checks/workflows should prevent merging.
• Repository collaboration workflow should become more stable, organized, and maintainable.

Additional Notes

• The implementation should strictly focus on configuring GitHub Branch Protection Rules for the main branch only.
• No unrelated repository modifications should be included.
