If you're working on a team, this extension will warn or stop you from pushing until you've pulled the latest remote changes.
This ensures you're always pushing on top of the latest version, reducing chances of:

• ❌ Push rejected (non-fast-forward)

• 🤕 Force pushes by mistake

Stay synced. Avoid surprises. Push safely. 🚦
