New to Git and just started to use Github. Just created my first public repo on there. I know that the public can fork my repo at any time. I also know that others can commit new changes and upstream to my repo on Github.
I wanted to know is there a way to quality control the commits coming through? I wouldn’t want random commits from people and want to make sure the code is actually up to quality standards. Is there a way to stop others from committing upstream back to my public repo?
Others can not push to your repo per se unless you explicitly allow them to.
What they can do is fork your code and file so-called pull requests – basically asking you to merge their changes into your repo – which you can then approve or decline.
More on pull requests in the GitHub help section
