Git Skill

Project-specific guidance for git operations, safe practices, and git flow branching strategy.

Core Principles

• Always check status first: Run git status and git diff before committing.
• Prefer explicit over implicit: Use full commands, not abbreviations.
• Tags are the version source of truth: Version numbers are derived from semver git tags (vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH). Never hard-code versions. Use git describe or git tag to read the current version.

1. Stage & Commit

When committing work, base your commit message only on the staged and unstaged changes.
