Is there a way to configure git repository to reject ‘git push –force’?

by

Setting the configuration variables:

receive.denyNonFastForwards
receive.denyDeletes

will prevent any ‘forced’ pushes from working across all branches.

If you want finer pre-branch control then you will have to use a ‘hook’ on the remote repository, probably the ‘update’ hook.

There is a sample update hook called ‘update-paranoid’ that probably does what you need (and more) in the git distribution in the ‘contrib’ folder.
