FAQPage Schema

How do I block dangerous git commands during Claude Code sessions?▼

Blocking dangerous git commands requires a PreToolUse Bash hook that intercepts actions like git push or reset --hard before execution. This Skill supplies the script and configuration workflow to enforce a safe command policy automatically.

Can I use git guardrails to prevent git push and reset --hard from running?▼

Yes, git guardrails can prevent git push and reset --hard from running by applying a PreToolUse Bash hook. The hook enforces an automatic safe command policy that denies blocked dangerous git operations before Claude runs any tool.

Do I need jq installed to set up git hooks for Claude Code?▼

Yes, you need jq installed to use this Skill because jq is a required dependency for the hook script. You must also copy the script to your project's .claude/hooks directory or global ~/.claude/hooks directory and configure the PreToolUse Bash hook.

What is a PreToolUse Bash hook and how does it intercept git actions?▼

A PreToolUse Bash hook is a configuration mechanism that runs before Claude executes any tool, allowing scripts to intercept and deny specified commands. It enforces a safe command policy by blocking dangerous git operations like push and reset --hard before they run.

Can I configure git blocking hooks globally or per project in Claude Code?▼

You can configure git blocking hooks either globally or per project in Claude Code. Copy the script to your project's .claude/hooks directory for project-scoped use, or to your global ~/.claude/hooks directory for system-wide enforcement across all sessions.
