Git Workflow Skill

Objective

Implement professional Git workflows ensuring clean commit history, proper branch management, effective collaboration, and code review best practices.

When to Use This Skill

Auto-invoke when:

• User mentions "commit", "push", "branch", "merge", "pull request", "PR"
• Before code changes need to be saved
• Preparing for deployment or release
• Resolving merge conflicts

Commit Message Standards (Conventional Commits)

Format: <type>(<scope>): <subject>

Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, chore, ci

Examples:

feat(auth): add OAuth2 login support
fix(api): handle null response in user endpoint
docs(readme): update installation instructions

Branch Naming: <type>/<ticket-id>-<description>

Examples:

feature/AUTH-123-oauth-integration
bugfix/CORE-456-fix-null-pointer
hotfix/PROD-789-critical-security-patch

GitFlow Workflow

Main: production, Develop: integration Features: branch from develop → merge to develop Releases: branch from develop → merge to main+develop Hotfixes: branch from main → merge to main+develop

Pre-Commit Checklist

# No secrets
git diff --cached | grep -iE "api[_-]?key|secret|password"
