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 (May 2026):

• git: 2.53.x (current stable). Git 3.0 expected late 2026 (reftable default, SHA-256 default)
• GitHub CLI (gh): 2.91.0
• GitLab CLI (glab): 1.90.x
• Forgejo CLI (fj): 0.4.1 (March 2026). Rust-written, official community CLI at codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/forgejo-cli. Covers PRs (incl. AGit), issues, repos, releases, tags, actions.
• Forgejo: v15.0 line current at May 2026 recheck; verify the stable branch before upgrade advice. Critical RCE (CVE-2025-68937) patched in v13.0.2+.
• prek: 0.3.x (Rust, recommended) or pre-commit: 4.6.0 (Python, largest ecosystem)
• git-filter-repo: 2.47.x
• gitleaks: 8.30.x (secret scanning)
• cosign: 3.x (Sigstore, for tag/release signing context)

This skill covers five domains depending on context:
