How to reject git push based on some rule

In our repository, we have instructed all developers not include one keyword (which is ops$abc) prefixed database objects. For example for "update ops$abc.tablename ." we have instructed to use update tablenane .

But developers are making this kind of mistake. Is there any way to reject push to the branch having this kind of code?

you could use git hooks feature to achieve this. BUT, it requires each developer to setup the ./.git/hooks/pre-commit manually. Or you could create a shell script for developers in the repository to copy a pre-commit file into ./.git/hooks.

No matter what, it requires developers cooperation.

You can use GitHub protected branches:

  1. Set your master or release branch as protected.
  2. Add an automated test that fails if developers use update ops$abc.tablename.
  3. Configure your CI server to run the automated tests when a GitHub pull request is opened.

Now developers won't be able to merge pull requests (or commit directly to the protected branch) with this change.
