git-nudge

README.md

git-nudge

Same as git push, but suppresses GitHub branch protection for admins on pushed branches.

Installation

Put this file to any location in your $PATH and make it executable.

Usage

Identical to git-push command. If protected branch is detected, it removes status check requirement for admins, pushes, and reverts requirements for admins. This allows you to bypass status checks, but does not allow force push. Non-admin users cannot use this utility.

Example

$ git push
Counting objects: 1, done.
Writing objects: 100% (1/1), 184 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done.
Total 1 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
remote: error: GH006: Protected branch update failed for refs/heads/somebranch.
remote: error: 2 of 2 required status checks are pending
To [email protected]:myorg/coolrepo.git
 ! [remote rejected] somebranch -> somebranch (protected branch hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:myorg/coolrepo.git'
