• Fixes [Feature] Allow excluded users (ex. bots) in branch protection implementation #220 by @TimidRobot

Description

This PR is meant to exempt some specific users like bots from branch protection rules so that they can bypass restrictions like PR request reviews but still maintain protection for other users. This ensures that trusted users can perform their functions without manual intervention.

🚧 status: blocked Blocked & therefore, not ready for work by earlier and nearly identical submission:

• add function #223

@Silvia-Wachira it looks like you copied code. If so, it would be much better to collaborate with the original author (ex. by commenting on their PR and/or submitting a PR to their branch)

@TimidRobot I was trying to test the functionality with a friend but she submitted a PR accidentally. The code is mine though so I will request them to delete their PR.
