# If this script exits with a non-zero status nothing will be pushed.
#
# Steps to install, from the root directory of your repo...
# 1. Copy the file into your repo at `.git/hooks/pre-push`
# 2. Set executable permissions, run `chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-push`
# 3. Or, use `rake hooks:pre_push` to install
#
# Try a push to master, you should get a message `*** [Policy] Never push code directly to...`
#
# The commands below will not be allowed...
# `git push origin master`
# `git push --force origin master`
# `git push --delete origin master`
