Body

As an admin or owner, is there a way to get an alert (email/etc) when someone modifies branch protection rules?

[ichenglin]

I believe what you're looking for is GitHub's webhooks,
it allow developers to listen to certain activities such as modification of branch protection rule.

branch_protection_rule (documentation)

This event occurs when there is activity relating to branch protection rules. For more information, see "About protected branches." For information about the APIs to manage branch protection rules, see the GraphQL documentation or "Branch protection" in the REST API documentation.

To subscribe to this event, a GitHub App must have at least read-level access for the "Administration" repository permission
