Description
The extension currently does not have an option for authorized users to bypass branch protection, the user must open the PR on GitHub to do this. Having a checkbox, like on the website, would be very helpful.

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

Research direction
Start by tracing the extension's pull request workflow and comparing it with the branch-protection bypass checkbox on GitHub. Identify where authorized users' PR actions are presented, then add the option and verify that the completed flow allows the same bypass behavior without requiring the GitHub website.
