At any given time, there could be a few developers working
on the same project where the code is stored as a branch in a repository
on GitHub. Trouble is, when different people are collaborating on the
same code, there is always a chance that one person can overwrite
someone else’s changes, resulting in lost work. GitHub has introduced a
feature called Protected Branches to prevent this from happening.
Protected Brances allows repository administrators to
disable force push changes to particular parts of a given project. This
prevents the branch from being overwritten or deleted. Changes cannot be
merged into a protected branch until status checks have been passed.
The new Protected Branch will be gradually rolled out on GitHub in the coming weeks. You can read more about it over at GitHub’s blog post.
