Description
### Overview
we need to create merge teams for all active projects so that we can manage security by adding only the appropriate team members to the merge team
### Action Items
- [x] Create a new spreadsheet of teams that have/don't have merge teams, using the list from resource 1.01
- project_name
- github_merge_team_id
- github_write_team_name (you can get some of the write teams names from resource 1.04)
- github_write_team_url
- branch_protections (TRUE/FALSE)
- [x] create merge teams for active projects that are missing them (resource 1.02 & 1.03)
- [x] Go to their write team
- [x] Click on teams
- [x] Add a team
- [x] call it [project-name-merge], where project name matches the formatting of their other teams
- [x] add merge team IDs to resource 1.01
- [ ] Check for a guide on branch protections in the knowledgebase content
- [ ] if none, create an issue
- [ ] Find someone to write a guide to branch protections for Hack for LA teams
- [ ] roll out merge team protections for each team
