Branch protection rule is not working as expected

[nshema-pinc]

We are using safe-settings for protecting branches for repository in Premier Inc organization.

I was trying to add protection only to develop branch. But protections applied to both main and develop branch. Please assist me in this issue

Example

I use the below script to make develop branch as to be protected but it made both main and develop protected. Please help me with this.

`- name: develop

Hi there, not sure if you pasted the entire config file but it seems to be missing some parameters like branches and indentation:

branches:
  - name: default
    protection:
...

Try checking the sample:

See docs/sample-settings/settings.yml for a sample settings file.
