 # Git Hooks Directory
 
-This directory contains Git hooks that protect the `main`, `dev`, `master`, and branches containing `team-dev`.
+This directory contains Git hooks that protect the `main` and `master` branches.
 
 ## Protected Branches
 
 - **main** - Production branch (exact match)
-- **dev** - Development branch (exact match only - branches like `name-dev` or `dev-something` are allowed)
 - **master** - Legacy production branch (exact match, protected for compatibility)
-- **Any branch containing `team-dev`** - Blocks any branch name that contains the substring `team-dev` (including the dash)

 ## Hooks
 
 - **pre-push**: Blocks direct pushes to protected branches:
-  - Exact matches: `main`, `dev`, `master`
-  - Any branch containing: `team-dev` (e.g., `my-team-dev`, `backend-team-dev`, etc.)
-  - Allowed: `name-dev`, `dev-something`, `my-dev-branch` (dev with dashes is fine, but not `team-dev`)
+  - Exact matches: `main`, `master`
+  - Allowed: `dev`, `name-dev`, `dev-something`, `my-dev-branch`
 - **post-checkout**: Automatically configures hooksPath on checkout (if not already set)
 - **post-merge**: Automatically syncs hooks to submodules on pull
 
-## Testing
 
-Try pushing to a protected branch - you should see an error:
-```bash
-git checkout main
-git push origin main
-# ❌ ERROR: You cannot push directly to 'main'.
-
-git checkout dev
-git push origin dev
-# ❌ ERROR: You cannot push directly to 'dev'.
-
-git checkout my-team-dev
-git push origin my-team-dev
-# ❌ ERROR: You cannot push to branches containing 'team-dev'.
-```
-
-These branches are allowed:
-```bash
-git checkout name-dev
-git push origin name-dev
-# ✅ Allowed (dev with dash prefix)
-
-git checkout dev-something
-git push origin dev-something
-# ✅ Allowed (dev with dash suffix)
-```
-
-This confirms hooks are working!
