Prevent direct commits on master branch in git repository and accept merges only?

Question

My git repository has two branches, \'master\' and \'dev\'.

Code committed to \'dev\' goes through an automated build process before it is tested. Code that passes this

Answer 1

Make local branch

 command: git branch 

Go to branch through

Command: git checkout      

Now your all local work save (through add . & commit ) into branch and then push to remote through

command : git push origin 

after that you can make pull request to master and merge to master. This is answer based on the linux (Ubuntu) system environment.

If any miss then let me know?
