Git Workflows

Implement structured Git workflows for team collaboration, code quality, and automated releases. This skill covers branching strategies, conventional commit formats, Git hooks, and monorepo management patterns.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• Choosing a branching strategy for a new project or team
• Implementing consistent commit message formats
• Setting up Git hooks for linting, testing, or validation
• Managing monorepos with multiple projects
• Establishing code review workflows
• Automating versioning and releases

Quick Decision: Which Branching Strategy?

Trunk-Based Development

Use when the team has strong CI/CD automation, comprehensive test coverage (80%+), and deploys frequently (daily or more). Short-lived branches merge within 1 day. Requires feature flags for incomplete features.
