FAQPage Schema
How do I block dangerous git commands like git push or git reset --hard in Claude Code?▼

You can block dangerous git commands by installing a PreToolUse hook that intercepts and prevents execution of destructive operations like git push --force, git reset --hard, and git clean in Claude Code.

What git commands should I restrict to prevent accidental damage during AI coding sessions?▼

To prevent accidental damage, restrict destructive git commands such as git push, git reset --hard, git clean, git branch -D, git checkout ., and git restore . using a safety guardrail hook.

Can I apply git safety guardrails globally or do I need a project-scoped configuration?▼

You can apply git guardrails in both project-scoped and global configurations by enabling a PreToolUse hook in either the local .claude/settings.json or the global Claude Code settings file.

Do I need jq to set up pre-tool hooks for blocking git operations?▼

Yes, jq is required as a dependency to set up the pre-tool hooks for blocking git operations, along with a bundled shell script to enforce the guardrails.

How does a PreToolUse hook prevent destructive git actions before they execute?▼

A PreToolUse hook prevents destructive git actions by intercepting commands before they execute, evaluating the command against a blocklist, and stopping operations like git push or git reset --hard.
