There are "hooks" in git that can be used to modify its behavior, to e.g. "spit out a warning if you created a branch and then try to commit to master" This seems to be a good resource https://githooks.com/ https://githooks.com/

> "spit out a warning if you created a branch and then try to commit to master" How this one may be done? It sounds wonderful but I have no idea how to implement such thing (and if not included in git already, I hope that I can reuse code rather than reimplement it)

  Oh, hey now. Look at the very bottom of the resource I sent you, under "Snippets" https://githooks.com/ https://githooks.com/

    "A pre-push hook that prevents direct code push to master branch" and I would want "spit out a warning if you created a branch and then try to commit to master" Sometimes I would want to commit to master, I want an overridable warning iff I just created branch.

      How about #!/bin/sh BRANCHES_POINTING_TO_HEAD=$(git branch --contains HEAD |wc -l) CURRENT_BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current) if [ "$BRANCHES_POINTING_TO_HEAD" -gt 1 ]; then if [ "$CURRENT_BRANCH" = "master" ]; then echo "You're committing to master even though other branches exist." echo "override with git commit --no-verify" exit 1 fi fi You'll need git 2.22 for the --show-current git option. But also I would suggest instead using git checkout -b <new_branch> to create and switch branches in one command

        A better UX would be $ git checkout <new_branch> <new_brach> doesn't exist. Would you like to create it (Y/n): The real problem with "git" is just way too many options. For automated tools there can be a "-n" non-interactive option that fails with an error code and doesn't ask questions.
