# Git Hooks

## Reject Merge Commits

`blender_merged_hook` rejects merge commits to branches were we don't want them.
It is installed as an `pre-receive` hook.

## Deny Binary Files

The `deny-binary` rejects binary files, that should have used LFS instead.
It is installed as a `pre-receive` hook.

To circumvent the rejection you can add `override restrictions` anywhere in the commit message.
