How can I prevent non-fastforward pushes to selected branch(es) in git?

Question

I would like to protect my git repository so only non master branches can be overwritten. Is there a way to protect only selected branches?

Answer 1

You can prevent non-fast-forward updates by configuring denyNonFastForwards

git config --system receive.denyNonFastForwards true

But it applies for all branches. For more info please refer ProGit
