Block destructive git operations by installing a PreToolUse hook that intercepts commands before Claude executes them. Copy the bundled shell script into your hooks path and register it in settings.json to prevent pushes, resets, cleanups, and branch deletions.

Destructive git operations include force pushes, hard resets, branch deletions, and cleanups. Using a PreToolUse hook intercepts these commands before execution, protecting both local repositories and collaborative workflows from unintended data loss.

Yes, you can configure git guardrails globally or per project. The Skill supports project-scoped configuration via .claude/settings.json and global configuration via ~/.claude/settings.json to apply hooks across your environment.

Yes, jq is a required dependency for this git guardrail hook. The block-dangerous-git.sh script relies on jq to parse the JSON payload from the Claude Code PreToolUse hook and evaluate the intercepted git commands.

A PreToolUse hook stops git branch deletions by evaluating the command payload before the tool executes. If the block-dangerous-git.sh script detects a dangerous git action, it blocks the operation and prevents Claude from running it.

The best way to prevent accidental git resets in collaborative workflows is automating command interception. A PreToolUse hook script blocks destructive git operations automatically, removing reliance on manual checks during development.
