Git Branch PR Workflow

Expert guidance for branch management, pull request workflows, and GitHub integration using modern Git commands and linear history practices.

Core Expertise

• Main-Branch Development: Work on main locally, push to remote feature branches for PRs
• Modern Git Commands: Use git switch and git restore instead of checkout
• Branch Naming: See git-branch-naming skill
• Linear History: Rebase-first workflow, squash merging - see git-rebase-patterns for advanced patterns
• GitHub MCP Integration: Use mcp__github__* tools instead of gh CLI

Main-Branch Development (Preferred)

Develop directly on main, push to remote feature branches for PRs. This eliminates local branch management overhead.
