Merge Protector for Github Extension

Merge Protector helps you click the correct button when merging Pull Requests in Github. Since Github doesn't allow you to specify branch-specific merge options, Merge Protector will disable and enable options based on rules you specify.

Features:
- Specify the repositories that you would like to apply protection rules to (or apply to all!)
- Specify the branch names that you would like to allow only squashing, merging, or rebasing
- Specify the default merge way if none of the above rules apply
