# Version Control with Git This skill equips an AI agent to perform the full spectrum of Git-based version control tasks, from initializing a repository and crafting atomic commits to orchestrating branching strategies, resolving merge conflicts, and configuring automation with hooks. It covers both everyday workflows and advanced operations needed for professional team collaboration. ## Workflow 1. **Assess Repository State**: Run `git status`, `git log --oneline -10`, and `git branch -a` to understand the current branch, uncommitted changes, recent history, and available remotes. This context determines which operations are safe to perform. 2. **Stage and Commit Changes**: Group related changes into atomic commits. Write commit messages that start with a concise summary line (50 characters or fewer), followed by a blank line and an explanatory body when the change is non-trivial. Follow the project's commit convention (Conventional Commits, Angular style, etc.) if one exists. 3. **Branch Management**: Create feature, bugfix, or release branches from the appropriate base. Use a consistent naming convention such as `feat/short-description`, `fix/issue-123`, or `release/1.2.0`. Delete stale branches after merging to keep the branch list clean. 4. **Synchronize with Remote**: Fetch and pull regularly to stay up to date. Push feature branches with the `-u` flag on first push. Before merging, rebase or merge the base branch into the feature branch to resolve conflicts early...
