Manage the code coverage ruleset condition with the REST API

GitHub now supports managing the 'Restrict code coverage' repository ruleset option via the generally available REST API, not just through the web UI. This ruleset enforces a minimum line coverage percentage or a maximum tolerable coverage drop for pull requests. It requires GitHub Code Quality enabled with code coverage uploads configured, and is available on GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Team (including data residency), but not GitHub Enterprise Server. The change lets teams create, update, and read this setting programmatically for consistency across many repos or as part of infrastructure-as-code workflows.
