There are tools that you can use to make sure everyone follows the agreed upon workflow, which can make it easier to collaborate with others. First, you can add branch protections, which will enforce certain rules for certain branches. A common one is to not allow commits directly to the main branch, requiring changes to go through a Pull Request. There are many options for branch protection that you can read about on the [GitHub web page](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-protected-branches/about-protected-branches). Similarly, you can limit who on the team is able to push or merge changes into a particular branch, or in the entire repository. It is also a good idea to have testing and review requirements, particularly for production branches. These requirements and branch protections should be documented in the CONTRIBUTING document as well.
