It sounds like what you really have is a code management process problem. Remove him from commit access the repo, force him to submit PRs, review his PRs, provide feedback so he gets better but can't break things. Tell him this is "best practices" which is basically is. You could also take a less draconian approach and tell him that PRs and code reviews are required before merging. If he doesn't do that, then you can remove his commit access.
