Receiving Errors when attempting to push VSCode to Repo.

[rs381]

Keep receiving this error when attempting to commit my code to my Repo:
To https://github.com/rs381/RomaWebServices.git ! [remote rejected] main -> main (push declined due to repository rule violations) error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/rs381/RomaWebServices.git'

I asked ChatGPT, and it recommended changing my Branch repo rules

, but when I attempt to do so following it's directions, I cannot find anything regarding Branches in my repo settings. (Refer to Screenshot below.)

Please help, as I cannot contact Github support (don't have a paid plan.).

hi!
i see that there is no "Branches" tab in your screenshot. most likely, you are not an administrator of the repository. try going directly to this link: https://github.com/rs381/RomaWebServices/settings/branches. what do you see?

you should also try:
check github actions, there may be automatic checks configured there
check settings -> general -> danger zone
try deleting .git floder (if it exists) locally and re-init repository. there may be restrictions there too

Hello @plvxn Thanks for your reply. I am attaching a screenshot of what I see on the webpage you linked, and what I see in the Danger zone!

Thanks!

repo settings -> danger zone -> re-enable branch protection rules
then repo settings -> rules and delete all

you're running into a branch protection rule issue, which is why you're getting this error:

push declined due to repository rule violations

Go to your GitHub repo (e.g., https://github.com/rs381/RomaWebServices).

Click on Settings in the top bar of the repo (not your GitHub profile).

In the left sidebar, scroll down to Code and automation > Rules.

Click on Rules (this replaces the older “Branches” section).

Look for any rules applied to the main branch.

Either:

Edit the rule and uncheck options like "Require pull request before merging", "Require status checks", etc.,
OR

Delete the rule if it's too strict for your workflow (click on the ... button next to the rule).

After adjusting, try pushing your changes again:

git push origin main
