Can someone help me to see some checks here

Has the Check ran in the last week? I believe you have to run it a few times, then It'll pop up here

Hi!

If you're unable to see the status checks option under your branch protection rules, there are a few things to check:

Enable Required Status Checks:
    Go to the repository settings.
    Under Branches, find the protected branch you want to configure (e.g., main).
    Scroll down to the Branch Protection Rules section.
    Ensure you have checked the option "Require status checks to pass before merging." This will allow you to see and select the available status checks for that branch.

Status Checks Availability:
    If you don’t see any status checks listed, make sure there are actual checks running on your repository. This could be from a CI/CD tool like GitHub Actions, Travis CI, Jenkins, etc. These services need to run at least once for the status checks to appear in the branch protection settings.
    Make sure that your CI/CD workflows are properly configured, and the checks are running without any issues.

Workflow Configuration:
    Ensure that your .github/workflows files or external CI configurations are correctly set up to report status checks to GitHub. If no checks have been reported for the branch, GitHub won’t display anything in the list of available checks.

Permissions:
    Check if you have the necessary admin permissions on the repository. Only admins or users with appropriate permissions can configure branch protection rules.

After verifying these steps, you should be able to see the status checks and enable them for branch protection. If the issue persists, ensure that the CI system is correctly integrated with GitHub and is reporting status updates.

Hope this helps!
