Setting read-only access for specific branches on GitHub repo

Question

I created two branch on a GitHub repository but would like to set read-only permission for some members on one branch (master branch) and allow write persmission to another branch (dev branch). Is this possible on GitHub?

My temporary solution is create one public repository and one private repository like an answer on git branch permissions.

You're looking for real secure solution or preventing accidents will be enough? — Alexander Yancharuk, Jan 23 '14 at 10:04
@Agis My problem is on Github, not my own Git server. Thank for your attention :-) — Rong Nguyen, Jan 23 '14 at 10:04

@RongNK Refer to https://help.github.com/articles/what-are-the-different-access-permissions — Agis, Jan 23 '14 at 10:05
Thank @Agis, you can see: Github provide repository level restriction(not branch level restriction) :| — Rong Nguyen, Jan 23 '14 at 10:12
