What happens if I actually need to force push?

The skill prevents Claude from performing force pushes automatically. If a force push is truly necessary, you should perform it manually in your terminal or temporarily modify the hooks.

Does this modify my global Git configuration?

No, it only affects commands executed through the Claude Code CLI by modifying the repository-specific configuration file.

How does this skill block Git commands?

It adds a PreToolUse hook to your .claude/settings.json file that intercepts Bash commands and exits with an error code if a forbidden Git push is detected.

Can I still push to feature branches?

Yes, the skill specifically targets 'main' and 'master' branches, allowing you to push to feature branches as part of a standard PR workflow.

보안 및 테스팅

Enforces safe Git workflows by blocking direct pushes to primary branches and preventing unapproved force pushes within Claude Code.

The Git Branch Protection skill safeguards your repository's integrity by automatically installing safety hooks into your local Claude Code configuration. It acts as a proactive guardrail, detecting and blocking high-risk Git commands such as direct pushes to production branches (main/master) or destructive force pushes. This is essential for developers who want to ensure that all changes go through a pull request process and to prevent accidental data loss or production outages caused by autonomous AI actions.
