Git Workflow Skill

Expert patterns for Git version control: branching, commits, collaboration, and CI/CD.

Critical Rules (Non-Negotiable)

1. No direct push to main — always open a PR.
2. No merge before all review threads are resolved — run the merge gate in references/pull-request-workflow.md.
3. No squash unless user asked — atomic commits preserved; keeps GPG signatures and bisection.
4. No "tested/verified/working" without pasted command output — if you cannot run the check, say so.
5. No edits to installed skill/plugin cache paths (~/.claude/skills/, ~/.claude/plugins/cache/, **/.bare/**) — always the repo worktree. Verify pwd first.
6. Force-push only with --force-with-lease — never plain --force.

See references/pull-request-workflow.md for the merge-gate command, atomic-commit guidance, and review-thread SHA-citation pattern.
