Description
If you have any branch protections enabled on your current default branch, these will be lost (in fact, the tool might not work at all).

Thanks for the shout out :)
I haven't used your CLI yet, but I think you have the feature to keep the previous branch around. So maybe it should not be an update of the pattern, but a copy of the settings?
