[FEAT]: Add support for allowing force pushes for specified people, teams, apps

[jdatx]

Describe the need

I'm using semantic versioning and this requires force pushes. I've got a github app that I'd like to allow force pushes for this. When I configure this in the gui, works fine.

@jdatx are you referring to the ability to specify an app in a github_repository_ruleset as a bypass actor? If so doesn't this already work with actor_type = "Integration"?

[jdatx]

Thanks for getting to this it's appreciated.

I was talking about the github_branch_protection resource.

I'll have to reproduce it but I don't recall why the github_repository_ruleset didn't work for my case

[stevehipwell]

@jdatx I'm not affiliated with this repo, I'm just an end user.

It looks like branch protection is still supported by GH (under the classic branch protection rule name), but if I were you I'd look at using a ruleset instead. I'm not aware of any use cases not supported by a ruleset, and since they were supported in the GH TF provider they've been made to work (the original implementation was pretty much unusable).

This can be closed. The desired behavior is achieved by

force_push_bypassers   = [...]

and in the required_pull_request_reviews specifying pull_request_bypassers.
