GH-RULESET-CHECK(1) GitHub CLI manual GH-RULESET-CHECK(1)

gh-ruleset-check - View rules that would apply to a given branch

gh ruleset check [<branch>] [flags]

View information about GitHub rules that apply to a given branch.

The provided branch name does not need to exist; rules will be displayed that would apply to a branch with that name. All rules are returned regardless of where they are configured.

If no branch name is provided, then the current branch will be used.

The --default flag can be used to view rules that apply to the default branch of the repository.
