been thinking about this very common git workflow and how git doesn't do much to help you ensure that if you're using this workflow:

a) you never commit to your local `main` branch directly
b) you regularly pull from `origin/main` to keep your local `main` branch up to date

you just need to be careful

branch protection on github/gitlab helps with this, but I don't think there's much in git itself

I feel like git has a lot of built in features to support the linux kernel's git workflow (like `git-send-email`, `git-format-patch`, etc) but not a lot of features to support the way people who use GitHub/Gitlab etc use git

obviously this makes sense since git comes from the linux kernel, but it seems a bit surprising that 16 years after github was launched I can't think of any (?) features in core git that were built to support the way people use git with github/gitlab/etc
