Something that happens to must developers is that need to have some stuff that can’t be pushed and needs to be committed, and you really can’t push it to a server. So how do you force git to restrict yourself from pushing that branch?
#!/usr/bin/env bashdeclare -a protected_branches=("protected")
declare current_branch
current_branch=$(git symbolic-ref HEAD | sed -e 's,.*/\(.*\),\1,')for branch in "${protected_branches[@]}"; do
if [ "$branch" = "$current_branch" ]; then
echo "This is a protected branch, BAD PUPPY!"
exit 1
fi
done
You put that into .git/hooks/pre-push, give it chmod +x and it will tell you BAD PUPPY each time you try to push that protected branch.
Since protected_branches is an array you can protect several branches in the same repo. Enjoy, puppy.
