-## Branch protections
-
-The order of branch protection rules
-[can be important](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/defining-the-mergeability-of-pull-requests/managing-a-branch-protection-rule#about-branch-protection-rules).
-The branch protection rules below should be added before the `**/**` branch protection rule
-(this may require deleting the `**/**` rule and recreating it at the end).
-
-### `main`
-
-- Require branches to be up to date before merging: UNCHECKED
-
-  (PR jobs take too long, and leaving this unchecked has not been a significant problem)
-
-- Status checks that are required:
-
-  - EasyCLA
-  - required-status-check
-  - gradle-wrapper-validation
-  - CodeQL
-
-### `release/*`
-
-Same settings as above for [`main`](#main).
-
-### `v0.*` and `v1.*` (old-style release branches)
-
-- Lock branch: CHECKED
-
-- Do not allow bypassing the above settings: CHECKED
-
-### `cloudfoundry`
-
-Same settings as above for [`main`](#main),
-except for the `required-status-check` required status check.
-
-### `renovate/**/*` and `otelbot/**/*`
-
-Same settings as
-for [`dependabot/**/*`](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/docs/how-to-configure-new-repository.md#branch-protection-rule-dependabot)
-
-### `gh-pages`
-
