Bug Report Checklist

• I have tried restarting my IDE and the issue persists.
• I have pulled the latest main branch of the repository.
• I have searched for related issues and found none that matched my issue.

Overview

Forking from #398: apparently you must have GitHub Pro to set branch protections on a private repo. TIL. Right now the setup script fails with:

◇  ❌ Error hydrating initial repository settings.
│
└  Looks like there was a problem. Correct it and try again? 😕


Error: Could not hydrate initial repository settings.

      status: 404,
      headers: [Object],
      data: [Object]
    },
    request: {
      method: 'PATCH',
      url: 'https://api.github.com/repos/asdf/testing-private-repo',
      headers: [Object],
      body: '{"allow_auto_merge":true,"allow_rebase_merge":false,"allow_squash_merge":true,"default_branch":"main","delete_branch_on_merge":true,"description":"asdf","has_wiki":false}',
      request: [Object]
    }
  }
}

...so much noise! And there's really no need to cancel the rest of setup & mark the whole thing as failed.

Instead, let's mention the error and continue gracefully. How about something like...

◇  ✅ Hydrated initial repository settings.
│
◇  ⚠️ Could not hydrate branch protection settings: private repositories require GitHub Pro for that API.
│
◇  ✅ Finished API hydration.

(that's just a starting suggestion I haven't put much thought into - please improve it if you have any ideas!)

Additional Info
