README

branch-guard

**This repository is archived and read-only. branch-guard now ships from [karlkfi/claude-bouncer](https://github.com/karlkfi/claude-bouncer).**

/plugin marketplace add karlkfi/claude-bouncer
/plugin install branch-guard@claude-bouncer

Those two lines replace the pair this repo used to document. The plugin itself did not change: same hook, same `main`/`master` protected set, same push policies, same `BRANCH_GUARD_OVERRIDE=` prefix. All seven `BRANCH_GUARD_*` variables keep their names and their defaults, so nothing in your own repo or `settings.json` needs editing.

The five guards — `workspace-guard`, `branch-guard`, `prod-guard`, `exit-status-guard`, `foreground-guard` — all parse the same Bash command strings, and were re-implementing that parser five times over. They share one now, so they share a repository, a test suite, and a release pipeline.

Where the docs went

[`plugins/branch-guard`](https://github.com/karlkfi/claude-bouncer/tree/main/plugins/branch-guard) in claude-bouncer: behavior table, the `git branch` ownership model, the push guard and its overlap check, the break-glass, config reference.

Read that rather than anything in this repo. The last release here was `v1.9.0` and claude-bouncer ships `1.10.0`, where two verdicts this README used to document as `ask` are now `deny`: a `git reset --hard` onto a tip nothing else reaches, and a push whose base moved into the lines the branch edits. The behavior tables here and the pages under `docs/` describe a version that no longer ships.

Switching an existing install

The marketplace name changes from `branch-guard` to `claude-bouncer`, so an existing install has to be removed and re-added — an update will not cross that boundary, and the old marketplace still clones fine, so nothing tells you it has gone quiet:

claude plugin uninstall branch-guard@branch-guard
claude plugin marketplace remove branch-guard
claude plugin marketplace add karlkfi/claude-bouncer
