How can I enforce status checks on my branches?

You can enforce status checks by navigating to your repository settings, selecting 'Branches', and then adding required status checks under 'Branch protection rules'.

Is it possible to allow certain users to bypass branch protection rules?

Yes, you can allow specific users or teams to bypass branch protection rules by enabling the 'Include administrators' option in the branch protection settings.
