FAQPage Schema

How do I block dangerous git commands in 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.

What git operations should be blocked to protect repositories?▼

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.

How do I set up a PreToolUse hook to intercept git commands?▼

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.

Can I apply git safety guardrails globally across all my projects?▼

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.

Do I need jq to run the git guardrail block script?▼

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.
