Git Commit and Push Skill

Overview

This skill guides the creation of meaningful Git commits with detailed summaries and pushes them to GitHub. It leverages the SuperClaude /sc:git command to handle the commit workflow with intelligent message generation and proper formatting.

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when the user:

• Explicitly asks to "commit" changes
• Wants to "save" work to Git or GitHub
• Says "push" or "push changes"
• Mentions updating the repository
• Requests to create a commit message
• Wants to save progress to version control

Workflow

Follow this workflow when the skill is activated:

1. Review Current State

Check the current Git status to understand what files have changed:

git status

Examine the actual changes to understand what was modified:

git diff

2. Invoke SuperClaude Git Command

Use the /sc:git command to handle the commit process. This command will automatically:

• Stage all changes
• Generate an appropriate commit message based on the changes
• Create the commit with proper formatting
• Push to the remote repository

The /sc:git command follows Git workflow best practices and handles all the mechanics of committing and pushing.

3. Commit Message Structure

The generated commit message follows this conventional format:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<detailed description of changes>

Why these changes were made:
<rationale>

Important Notes

• Always review changes before committing to ensure accuracy
• The skill works on the currently checked-out Git branch
• If there are no changes to commit, inform the user
• If the repository has uncommitted changes from others, warn before pushing
• Follow Git best practices and project conventions
• The /sc:git command handles all staging, commit message generation, and pushing automatically
