Let me add: In my opinion, nobody should be able to push to master. Merging into master should be done either automatically (by a build-bot or something like this) or by a "merge this PR"-click in github, after some checks are succeeded (something like CI or lgtm.co (not proposing tools here but functionality)). -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Kind regards, Matthias Beyer Proudly sent with mutt.
