Hi,

we are using server 5.7.1 BitBucket and we want user should not do forcefully push to master branch to prevent this we enable this hook

Reject Force Push

Reject all force pushes (git push --force) to this repository

but what we are seeing even though if we enable this we are still able to push the changes forcefully to master

can you please let us know what we are missing

Thanks

Hi,

A "force push" in the sense of "reject force push" is a push that would otherwise be rejected if you didn't force it. In other words, a push that would work without any conflicts doesn't become a force push just because you add --force.

Hi @DJM,

Probably you can set up the configuration variables:

receive.denyNonFastForwards
receive.denyDeletes

It will prevent any 'forced' pushes from working across all branches.

For more details, please have a look at Allow users to set the flag denyNonFastForwards on Git repositories .

Thanks,
Ram.
