To block dangerous git commands in Claude Code, you can install a PreToolUse hook that intercepts and prevents operations like git push --force, git reset --hard, and git clean before execution. This guardrail protects repositories from destructive actions during code generation.

Yes, you can configure git hooks for Claude Code at either a per-project or global scope. The setup involves copying the hook script and updating your Claude settings to integrate the guardrails with your chosen configuration scope.

Yes, jq is required to install and run these git guardrails. The hook script depends on jq to parse tool use requests and accurately block dangerous git commands within your Claude Code environment.

A PreToolUse hook intercepts destructive git operations such as git push, git reset --hard, git clean, and git branch -D. It blocks these dangerous commands before Claude executes them to prevent accidental repository damage.

Git prehooks prevent accidental resets during code generation by acting as a guardrail that automatically blocks destructive commands. The hook evaluates requested git operations and stops execution of dangerous actions before they can impact the repository state.
