 Common troubleshooting
 - Divergent branches on pull: set pull strategy (see above) and rerun `git pull --rebase` or `git pull`.
 - “Remote not found”: add `origin` remote (see Remotes).
-- Push rejected (protected branch): push to a feature branch and open a PR.
+- Push rejected (if protection is re-enabled): push to a feature branch and open a PR.
 - Conflicts during pull/rebase:
