git-guardrails-claude-code

To block dangerous git commands in Claude Code, configure a PreToolUse hook to intercept risky operations like push, reset --hard, clean, branch -D, and checkout before execution. This guardrail protects repositories from unintended destructive actions.

Destructive git operations that should be blocked include git push, reset --hard, clean, branch -D, and checkout or restore. Intercepting these commands prevents irreversible data loss and maintains repository integrity during automated workflows.

Set up a PreToolUse hook by copying the bundled block script to your target location and enabling it within project-scoped or global Claude Code settings. This intercepts and evaluates git commands before they execute.

Yes, you can apply git safety guardrails globally by configuring the PreToolUse hook in the global settings file, covering all Claude Code environments. Project-scoped settings are also available for individual repository protection.

Yes, jq is required as a dependency to run the git guardrail block script. It processes the JSON input intercepted by the PreToolUse hook to evaluate and block destructive git commands effectively.
