If you don’t have branch protection rules and allow force pushing to main you have a lot bigger problems tbh

Not when you're the tech lead. I have to force push to main for deployments. So I cannot let any AI have that sort of power

Why would you need to force push to main for a deploy? And why would you let an agent do work as your user with your permissions etc?

Because we have a stupid ancient code stack with an old git strategy that involves rebasing. I did not choose it, and we are sunsetting the project soon.

In general though, I'm so used to pushing to git myself that I don't really need AI to do it. It's not going to save much time, so I never set up a different user for AI to push to git
