How to block push to master branch on remote

Question

Is there any way to block code push directly to master? I tried adding a script in .git/hooks/update:

#!/bin/sh
if [ $USER != \"git-repo-admin\" ];
         


        

Answer 1

The original script was perfect, I just needed to rename it from .git/hooks/update.sample to .git/hooks/update on the remote server and make sure it's executable.

#!/bin/sh
if [ $USER != "git-repo-admin" ];
then
  if [ "$1" == refs/heads/master ];
  then
    echo "Manual pushing to this repo is restricted"
    exit 1
  fi
