Our review
This skill provides a comprehensive protocol to avoid and resolve Git merge issues, especially with GitHub Pages, including preparation, safe merging, post-merge validation, and troubleshooting stuck states.
Strengths
- Provides a step-by-step protocol for safe merges.
- Includes specific solutions for GitHub Pages cache issues.
- Offers troubleshooting procedures for stuck Git states (rebase, locks).
- Provides checklists before and after merge to prevent mistakes.
Limitations
- Requires familiarity with basic Git commands.
- Does not cover all complex conflict cases (e.g., large binary files).
- GitHub Pages cache workarounds may be temporary.
Use this skill when you need to merge branches reliably, especially when deploying to GitHub Pages or facing cache or conflict problems.
Avoid using it for trivial merges with no conflicts, or if you prefer a graphical merge tool (GUI) over manual commands.
Security analysis
CautionThe skill includes potentially destructive commands (hard reset, forced kill, file removal) that could cause data loss or system disruption if misused, but they are used in a legitimate troubleshooting context with warnings. No external network calls or data exfiltration.
- •Uses git reset --hard, which discards uncommitted changes permanently.
- •Contains rm -f .git/index.lock, removing a lock file that could be in use if multiple git processes run.
- •Includes taskkill /f im git* and taskkill /f im GitHubDesktop.exe, force-killing git processes, potentially disrupting active operations.
Examples
I have a merge conflict between my feature branch and main. Can you help me resolve it step by step following the safe merge protocol?My GitHub Pages site is not updating after push. How can I force a rebuild using the cache busting technique?My git rebase is stuck in interactive mode. How do I abort it and clean up?🚀 Skill: Git Merge Mastery - Evitar Problemas de Merge
Objetivo
Prevenir e resolver problemas comuns de git merge, especialmente com GitHub Pages.
Problemas Comuns Identificados
- Merge incompleto - Commits da feature branch não chegam no main
- Cache do GitHub Pages - HTML antigo persiste mesmo após updates
- Conflitos de arquivos binários - HTML/CSS com conflitos complexos
- Rebase travado - Git em estado inconsistent
📋 Protocolo de Merge Seguro
1. PRÉ-MERGE (Preparação)
# Verificar diferenças entre branches
git diff main..feature/nova-feature --name-only
# Verificar histórico
git log --oneline --graph --all --decorate -10
# Ensure clean working directory
git status
git checkout .
2. MERGE CORRETO (Passo a passo)
# 1. Atualizar main
git checkout main
git pull origin main
# 2. Fazer merge explícito
git merge feature/nova-feature --no-ff -m "feat: merge completo de feature/nova-feature"
# 3. Verificar conflitos
git status
# 4. Resolver conflitos se necessário
git checkout --theirs arquivo-conflitante.html
git add arquivo-conflitante.html
# 5. Finalizar merge
git commit -m "resolve: conflitos do merge"
3. PÓS-MERGE (Validação)
# Verificar se TODOS os commits chegaram
git log --oneline -5
# Verificar arquivos específicos
git show HEAD --name-only
# Testar localmente antes do push
python -m http.server 8000 # Verificar se funciona
🎯 Solução Para GitHub Pages Cache
Quando o GitHub Pages não atualiza:
# 1. Mudar nome do arquivo principal (FORÇA rebuild)
mv docs/index.html docs/dashboard-NOVO.html
# 2. Criar redirect simples
echo "<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0; URL=./dashboard-NOVO.html'></head><body>Redirecting...</body></html>" > docs/index.html
# 3. Commit e push
git add docs/index.html docs/dashboard-NOVO.html
git commit -m "fix: força rebuild GitHub Pages com redirect"
git push
# 4. Após 5min, restaurar nome original
mv docs/dashboard-NOVO.html docs/index.html
git add docs/index.html
git commit -m "fix: restaura nome original após rebuild"
git push
🔧 Troubleshooting de Estados Travados
Git em rebase/interactive mode:
# Abortar rebase
git rebase --abort
# Resetar para estado limpo
git reset --hard origin/main
# Remover locks se necessário
rm -f .git/index.lock
Processos git travados (Windows):
# Matar processos git
taskkill /f /im git*
taskkill /f /im GitHubDesktop.exe
📊 Verificação de Sucesso
Após merge, verificar:
- ✅ GitHub Actions passando
- ✅ GitHub Pages atualizado (aguardar 2-5min)
- ✅ Testar URL atual com Ctrl+Shift+R (hard refresh)
- ✅ Confirmar que todos os arquivos da feature estão no main
⚠️ Checklists de Segurança
ANTES de fazer merge:
- [ ] Backup dos arquivos importantes
- [ ] Verificar diferenças entre branches
- [ ] Testar feature branch localmente
- [ ] Coordenar com time se aplicável
APÓS merge:
- [ ] Verificar se build passa
- [ ] Testar produção
- [ ] Documentar mudanças
- [ ] Informar stakeholders
🚨 Casos Especiais
Merge de grandes refactors:
# Fazer merge gradual
git merge feature/refactor --no-commit
# Verificar arquivo por arquivo
git status
git diff --cached
# Commit apenas quando confirmado
git commit -m "feat: merge seguro de refactor grande"
Rollback seguro:
# Reverter merge específico
git revert -m 1 MERGE_COMMIT_HASH
# Ou reset hard (cuidado!)
git reset --hard COMMIT_ANTERIOR
Lembrete: Sempre prefira merge --no-ff para manter histórico claro e evitar problemas com GitHub Pages!
