Go through the following steps:

  • add specific setting to your git config list with the command: git config branch.master.rebaselock true (along with master could be any other branch)
  • use pre-rebase git hook by Uasi: https://gist.github.com/uasi/9384329

pre-rebase hook is what you're after.

Here a quote from https://git-scm.com/docs/githooks:

pre-rebase

This hook is called by git rebase and can be used to prevent a branch from getting rebased. The hook may be called with one or two parameters. The first parameter is the upstream from which the series was forked. The second parameter is the branch being rebased, and is not set when rebasing the current branch.
