+# Git Permission Guard
+
+PreToolUse hook that blocks dangerous git/gh commands with early exit
+optimization for non-git commands.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+claude plugins add jacobpevans-cc-plugins/git-permission-guard
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Early exit** - Non-git/gh commands exit immediately (most Bash calls)
+2. **DENY** - Commands bypassing safety are always blocked
+3. **ASK** - Dangerous commands require user confirmation
+4. **ALLOW** - Safe commands pass through silently
+
+## Blocked Commands (DENY)
+
+| Pattern                       | Reason                     |
+| ----------------------------- | -------------------------- |
+| `git commit --no-verify / -n` | Bypasses pre-commit hooks  |
+| `git merge --no-verify`       | Bypasses merge hooks       |
+| `git rebase --no-verify`      | Bypasses commit hooks      |
+| `git config core.hooksPath`   | Changes hook directory     |
+| `pre-commit uninstall`        | Removes pre-commit hooks   |
+| `rm .git/hooks/*`             | Deletes git hooks          |
+
+## Confirmation Required (ASK)
+
+**Git:**
+
+- `merge` - Can create conflicts
+- `reset` - Can lose uncommitted work
+- `restore` - Can discard changes
+- `rm` - Removes from tree and index
+- `cherry-pick`, `rebase` - Rewrites history
+- `commit --amend` - Rewrites last commit
+- `push --force`, `push --force-with-lease` - Overwrites remote
+- `clean` - Removes untracked files
+- `gc`, `prune` - May remove objects
+- `worktree remove` - Removes worktree
+
+**GitHub CLI:**
+
+- `repo delete` - Permanently deletes repo
+- `issue close` - Closes issues
+- `pr close` - Closes pull requests
+- `pr merge` - **ONLY when user EXPLICITLY requests**
+- `release delete` - Deletes releases
+
+## Special Handling
+
+`git -C <path>` and `git -c <key=value>` are parsed to extract the actual
+subcommand. `git -C /path merge` triggers the same rules as `git merge`.
