Git Workflow Automation

Overview

This skill automates common Git workflows and provides expert guidance on best practices for version control.

When to Use This Skill

Creating feature branches with proper naming conventions
Managing merge conflicts and resolution strategies
Following Git Flow or GitHub Flow methodologies
Creating and reviewing pull requests
Performing release and hotfix operations
Automating repetitive Git tasks

Branching Strategies

Git Flow

main (production-ready code)
├── develop (integration branch)
│   ├── feature/* (feature branches)
│   └── release/* (release preparation)
└── hotfix/* (urgent fixes)

GitHub Flow

main (always deployable)
└── feature/* (short-lived branches)

Common Operations

Creating a Feature Branch

git checkout -b feature/user-authentication

Syncing with Upstream

git checkout main
git pull origin main
git checkout feature/user-authentication
git rebase main

Resolving Merge Conflicts

Identify conflicted files:
```
git status
```
Open files and look for conflict markers:
```
<<<<<<<
```
,
```
=======
```
,
```
>>>>>>>
```
Manually resolve conflicts by keeping desired changes
Stage resolved files:
```
git add .
```

Complete the merge:

git rebase --continue

git merge --continue

Pull Request Best Practices

Write clear, descriptive titles and descriptions
Link to related issues
Include testing instructions
Specify reviewers
Follow conventional commit messages

Release Management

Tag releases with semantic versioning (v1.2.3)
Create release notes highlighting changes
Verify CI/CD pipelines pass before merging
Coordinate with stakeholders for deployment timing

Scripts Available

```
scripts/create-feature-branch.sh
```
- Automated feature branch creation
```
scripts/sync-with-main.sh
```
- Sync current branch with main
```
scripts/prepare-release.sh
```
- Prepare a new release branch
