git branch permissions

Question

Is it possible to set branch permissions using git bash? I would like to have much more strict permissions on the master branch, so that some people can use the development

Answer 1

A typical scenario where this might be needed is to restrict access to official (or release) branches to a subset of people on a team. A good strategy here might be to have two repos -- a primary repo that is more tightly access controlled, and another repo that everybody in the team has access to and is used to setup working branches. And perform pull from the working branches to the main repo, as needed. Of course, you can tweak this to fit your team structure and needs.

This can work especially well with services like github.
