Git: Multi-Forge Production Workflow

Perform git operations, manage branches, handle multi-remote setups, create PRs/MRs, cut releases, and maintain audit-grade change history across GitHub, GitLab, and Forgejo. The goal is clean, signed, traceable history that satisfies both engineering standards and compliance requirements (PCI-DSS 4.0).

Target versions: see references/versions.md (verified per the receipt date in that file). Do not restate version numbers here.

This skill covers five domains depending on context:

• Operations - commits, branches, merges, rebases, stashing, bisect, reflog, recovery
• Remotes & forges - multi-remote setups, GitHub/GitLab/Forgejo differences, mirroring
• PR/MR workflow - feature branches, review flow, merge strategies, release cutting
• Security - commit signing, credential management, hooks, secret scanning, history scrubbing
• Compliance - PCI-DSS 4.0 change management, audit trails, branch protection as controls
