Git Automation Skill

Automate common Git workflows for efficiency and consistency.

When to Use

• Repetitive Git tasks
• Release management
• Branch management
• Commit standardization

Core Capabilities

• Automated commits (conventional commits)
• Branch creation/deletion
• Merge automation
• Tag and release creation
• Changelog generation
• Pre-commit hooks
• CI/CD integration

Scripts

# Auto-commit with conventional format
git-auto-commit() {
  git add .
  git commit -m "feat: $1"
  git push
}

# Create feature branch
git-feature() {
  git checkout -b "feature/$1"
  git push -u origin "feature/$1"
}

# Clean merged branches
git branch --merged | grep -v "\*" | xargs -n 1 git branch -d

# Generate changelog
git log --oneline --decorate --since="1 month ago" > CHANGELOG.md

Conventional Commits

feat: Add new feature
fix: Bug fix
docs: Documentation
style: Formatting
refactor: Code restructuring
test: Add tests
chore: Maintenance

Git Hooks

• pre-commit: Linting, formatting
• commit-msg: Message validation
• pre-push: Run tests

Tools

• Husky: Git hooks
• semantic-release: Automated releases
• commitlint: Commit message validation

Best Practices

• Automate versioning (SemVer)
• Generate changelogs automatically
• Enforce commit message format
• Run tests before push
