git hooks

To activate pre-push, rename .git/hooks/pre-push.sample to .git/hooks/pre-push

Example script:

branch_name=$(git symbolic-ref HEAD 2>/dev/null)

allowed_branch_name="refs/heads/"

allowed_branch_name+="min-branch"

if [ "$branch_name" != "$allowed_branch_name" ]; then
  echo "Current branch: ${branch_name}"
  echo "Allowed branch: ${allowed_branch_name}"
  echo
  echo "You can't push directly to this branch." # also prevents --force-with-lease pushes
  exit 1
fi

should work given that this command:

git symbolic-ref HEAD 2>/dev/null

gives: refs/heads/min-branch

and:

git symbolic-ref HEAD 2>/dev/null | cut -d"/" -f 3

gives min-branch
