branch-protector

Tries to prevent you pushing to a git branch by accident

Description

branch-protector doesn't itself do anything to prevent you from pushing to a branch that you didn't mean to. You need to run it on a git hook. It takes an argument of the branch you wish to protect and will return an exit code of 1 if you are currently on that branch, preventing the hooked git action from running.

Requirements

node >= 4 git >= 1.8

Install

npm i -D branch-protector

Usage

branch-protector requires a branch that you want to protect and an optional action (defaults to 'push').

e.g.

branch-protector master

branch-protector master commit

Create an npm script:

{
  "scripts": {
    "protect-master": "branch-protector master"
  }
}

Add a git hook that you would like branch-protector to run on.

For running before a git push try pre-push
