Body

Hi - I am trying to update branch protections for a particular repo, but for whatever reason, I can't see the "Branches" under the "Code and automation" section. I'm not sure why this is and if anyone has seen/had the same problem (see below):

I have other repos as well but am able to see the "Branches" within those settings.

Other information that may or may not factor include that these repos are part of an enterprise account and within the enterprise, private repos.

Most of the times, it could be one of the following reasons:

1. Your permissions need to be Admin or write.
2. Maybe you can verify enterprise-level &/ organization-level settings too.
3. Try to clear your browsers cache and cookies and retry.
4. maybe use a different browser or check out your GitHub status.
   if none of this provides a solution, then it is good to contact GitHub support to find better assistance.

Make sure Branch Protections are enabled under General:
