Managing Git Workflow

Overview

Automates git workflows for commit, push, and PR creation with context-aware message generation and automatic ticket number extraction.

When to Use

• Creating commits with auto-generated messages in project's language
• Pushing changes (with automatic commit if needed)
• Creating PRs (with automatic push and commit if needed)
• When user mentions: git, commit, push, pull request, PR, GitHub

Workflow Selection

| Task | Reference Document | Auto-includes | |------|-------------------|---------------| | Commit only | managing-git-workflow/reference/commit.md | - | | Push to remote | managing-git-workflow/reference/push.md | Commit (if uncommitted changes) | | Create PR | managing-git-workflow/reference/pr.md | Push + Commit (if needed) |

Common Principles

Commit Messages:

• Use language specified in project context, prompts, or documentation (default to English if unspecified)
• Follow existing project patterns (analyze with git log --online -10)
• Include ticket numbers (FMT-XXXXX, FLEASVR-XXX, etc.) if found in branch name or changes

Branch Naming:

• Extract ticket numbers from branch names for PR titles
• Use descriptive, concrete names

Helper Scripts:

• Common git operations available in git-helpers.sh
• Use source to load helpers when needed

Quick Reference

# Load helper functions
source $SKILL_DIR/git-helpers.sh

# Check status
has_uncommitted_changes  # returns 0 if true
has_unpushed_commits     # returns 0 if true
get_current_branch       # echoes branch name
check_pr_exists          # returns 0 if PR exists

Implementation

For push workflow: See managing-git-workflow/reference/push.md

For PR workflow: See managing-git-workflow/reference/pr.md

Each reference document provides step-by-step instructions for that specific operation.
