It is how Github branch protection is designed. This is my explanation from the information provided by you :
- The Pull Request you mentioned had 11 commits and when you tried to merged it, I assume you tried to squash it to a single commit. It generates a new SHA. - When you are pushing that SHA to origin develop, GitHub could not find that SHA in the list of approved Pull Requests SHAs. - This is why it blocked your push to develop origin. Workaround: - This would have worked if there was only one commit in the Pull Request: - If you still need to use the command line, you can create the Pull Request with only one commit (after squashing). - I generally, commit --amend over the last commit SHA and then force push, so that it stays as a single commit.
