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 (July 2026):

• git: 2.55.0 (current stable). Major additions include Linux fsmonitor, remote-group push, and parallel compatible hooks. Git 3.0 remains expected later in 2026.
• GitHub CLI (gh): 2.96.0
• GitLab CLI (glab): 1.109.0
• Forgejo CLI (fj): 0.6.0 (verify the current release at codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/forgejo-cli). Rust-written, official community CLI. Covers PRs (incl. AGit), issues, repos, releases, tags, actions.
• Forgejo: v16.0.1 current; v15.0.5 is the current LTS. Critical RCE (CVE-2025-68937) patched in v13.0.2+.
• prek: 0.4.10 (Rust, recommended) or pre-commit: 4.6.1 (Python, largest ecosystem)
• git-filter-repo: 2.47.x
• gitleaks: 8.30.x (secret scanning)
• cosign: 3.1.2 (Sigstore, for tag/release signing context)
