I am a newbie to gitea, and need a very particular setup that so far I have been unable to create.

I have a private repository, with several branches. I need each branch including main to be totally invisible, not clonable, to anyone except one developer. Only one developer can see, clone, or write to each branch, and only admin can clone main.

how to set this up?  
Thanks
