Prevent commit on master branch

pre-commit

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Based on https://gist.github.com/Simbul/1781656

# This pre-commit hook will prevent any commit to forbidden branch
# (by default, "master").
# Put this file in your local repo, in the .git/hooks folder
# and make sure it is executable.
# The name of the file *must* be "pre-commit" for Git to pick it up.
