In my local git tree I pull commits from the "master" branch in the repository, but all development is done in a different branch, and pushed in a different branch too.
I would like to avoid mistakes and prevent accidental commits in my local "master" branch, and allow only pull requests (then I'd rebase the developement branch to the updated master). Is this possible? How?
Not committing to master prevents colliding commits and having to merge each time 2 people change the same file.
You can use a pre-commit hook.
For example, place the following script as .git/hooks/pre-commit
:
#!/bin/bash
if test $(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD) = "master" ; then
echo "Cannot commit on master"
exit 1
fi
And set it as executable
chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
