Many hosts allow you to set rules to protect branches from getting their commits removed in the remote (in fact, I think that's the default for gitlab main branches) or to prevent people from pushing their commits to them directly.
I expect even "the main branch has to stay more or less in sync with origin/main" can be automated... though it might not be what you always want, depending how you work.

I think that's treading into "GitLab/Hub/Bitbucket/etc. are not git" territory. Good feature, but not in the product that the post is about.

Still glad you mentioned it, though-- Maybe someone just learned about it because of you.
