Prevent accidental push's to master

[hpjaj]

Background

Per human error, someone might mistakenly push changes directly to master.

Definition of Done

• Research and implement a protection that prohibit's user's from accidentally pushing directly to master

[kfrz]

Branch protection rules will:

• protect merges without green status/reviews
• disallow git push -f
• prevent deletion of branch

If we want to protect pushing from local to remote we probably want a hook.

Something like this in .git/hooks/pre-commit will prevent committing to master altogether.

#!/bin/sh

branch="$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)"
if [ "$branch" = "master" ]; then
  echo "Please do not commit directly to master"
  exit 1
fi

Downside with the hook is it's not something we can just commit to the project repo, each dev would have to have it added locally, unless we used a symlink strategy or shared-git-hooks
