Add support for configuring checks to branch protection

[jtgrohn]

Affected Resource(s)

Please list the resources as a list, for example:

• github_branch_protection
• github_branch_protection_v3

Description

The GitHub API supports setting up checks as well as contexts for branch protection. checks provide a few more configuration options (like enforcing that a check is set by a specific app)

Could you add support to the github_branch_protection and github_branch_protection_v3 resources to configure checks? Currently they only support contexts

Thanks

I took a look at this and I believe go-github doesn't support this field yet either. So we'd have to wait for them to implement it first before we can add this to terraform provider. Created an issue in the go-github repo for this here:
google/go-github#2274

google/go-github#2276 @k24dizzle It looks like checks was added to go-github since your last comment.

Yeah so this is where I left off with this: #1051
Now that it is in go-github, we could pick this work up again

@k24dizzle are you planning to continue working on this?

I have tried to kick a PR off to support this in #1415, though it looks like Github does some interesting things in the back-end (Returning a list of contexts when only checks were provided). If anyone with more experience developing plugins would like to chime in / extend this work I'd be more than happy for the help 🙏

Just want to be able to define protections again 🥲
