It enforces Conventional Commits with types such as `feat`, `fix`, and `chore`. Subject lines must start with a verb, stay within 50 characters, and omit trailing periods. Branches follow a structured setup: permanent `master` and `develop` branches alongside temporary `feature/`, `bugfix/`, `hotfix/`, and `release/` branches. Direct pushes to `master` are blocked, requiring passing CI checks and code review approval. Concrete workflows cover daily coding, release cuts, and hotfixes with version tags. The skill draws a firm line between merge and rebase. Feature branches sync against `develop` using `git rebase`, but merge back with `git merge --no-ff` to preserve branch history. Rebasing public branches is explicitly flagged as dangerous. Step-by-step instructions also cover merge conflicts, including `--ours`, `--theirs`, and `--abort` options. If your team relies on trunk-based development without a separate `develop` branch, this skill will clash with your process because it strictly enforces a Git Flow model. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --skill git-workflow -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/git-workflow/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --skill git-workflow -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --skill git-workflow -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar git-workflow ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --skill git-workflow -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --path skills/git-workflow ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --skill git-workflow -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar/tree/HEAD/skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md ## When to use it - Format commit messages according to Conventional Commits - Standardize branch naming for features, bugfixes, and hotfixes - Preserve branch history when merging with `--no-ff` - Resolve merge conflicts using `--ours`, `--theirs`, or `--abort` ## Example prompts - Create a Conventional Commit message for the newly added authentication middleware - Show me the workflow to cut release v1.0.0 from develop into master - Resolve the merge conflict in this file by keeping our current branch changes ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.
