Yes, branch protection rules work for GitHub Team plans. With GitHub Team, you can enforce branch protection rules to manage how branches are merged and updated in your repositories.

What You Can Do with Branch Protection in GitHub Team:

1. Require Pull Requests Before Merging

   • Ensure changes go through a pull request review before merging.
   • Require a specific number of approvals from reviewers.

2. Require Status Checks to Pass Before Merging

   • Only allow merging if CI/CD checks (e.g., GitHub Actions, third-party integrations) pass.

3. Restrict Who Can Push to the Branch

   • Prevent force pushes and unauthorized direct commits.

4. Require Code Owners Reviews

   • Enforce that certain users review changes before merging.

5. Lock Branches

   • Prevent any changes except by administrators.

Limitations of GitHub Team (Compared to Enterprise)

While GitHub Team supports these protections, some advanced security features like organization-wide branch protection rules and custom repository roles are only available in GitHub Enterprise.
