Hi All,

As part my project, want to create repositories with 2 branches (master and develop) for each business unit in our organization by using JGIT library. I could create the repos and branches but I also want to protect the master branch once created. I don't find any help for doing it using JGIT.

Could anyone please guide me on this use case?

Thanks in advance!

What happens if developers in those business units use a different git client, like the CLI? This is something your backend provider would need to support for you.

Hi Nitin,

Thanks for your response!

Actually the repos and branches would be used/accessed via our application (REST Service) only and nobody in our org will interact to the repos and branches in github via some other git client.

So I want to know if JGIT library has options to protect the master branch.

Thanks
Gowri
