Setting branch protection rules on a private repository

Question

Body

My friend who has GitHub Pro tried enforcing branch protection rules on their private repository, but it tells them that "Your rules won't be enforced on this private repository until you move to a GitHub Team or Enterprise organization account". I thought that GitHub Pro accounts could set branch rules?

I have contacted sales team support about this as well. The documentation is contradictory in separate places. I'm surprised there hasn't been more questions about this online like Stackoverflow.

It doesn't make sense that an individual dev should pay for Team when i'm not working in a team!
But the warning clearly says you need Team/Enterprise instead of Pro? Yet Github docs says Pro gets private repo branch rules enforced!
