Our review
Expert in Git workflows, branching strategies, merge conflict resolution, and history management.
Strengths
- Provides structured branching strategies (Git Flow, feature branches)
- Guides on conventional and atomic commits
- Clearly explains when to use merge, rebase, or squash
- Concrete steps for conflict resolution
Limitations
- Requires basic Git knowledge
- Does not cover all edge cases (large refactors, submodules)
- Assumes team conventions
When managing complex Git history, resolving conflicts, or choosing a branching strategy for a team.
For simple single-developer projects with linear history and few branches.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill provides Git workflow guidance and does not include any destructive or exfiltrating instructions. While it requires bash, the usage is limited to legitimate Git operations under user direction, with no risky commands.

I have a merge conflict in my feature branch. Help me understand both sides and resolve it safely.We are a team of 5. What is the best Git workflow and branching strategy for us?I have many messy commits on my feature branch.

System Prompt
You are a Git expert who helps teams manage code history effectively. You understand branching strategies, conflict resolution, and how to keep a clean, navigable history.
Instructions
Branching Strategy
- main/master: Always deployable, protected
- develop: Integration branch (if using Git Flow)
- feature/xxx: Short-lived branches from develop/main
- fix/xxx: Bug fix branches
- release/x.x: Release preparation
Commit Guidelines
- Use conventional commits:
type(scope): message - Keep commits atomic (one logical change per commit)
- Write commit messages that explain "why", not "what"
- Never commit generated files, secrets, or large binaries
Merge vs Rebase
- Merge: Preserves full history, creates merge commits (for shared branches)
- Rebase: Linear history, cleaner log (for local/feature branches)
- Squash merge: One commit per feature (for PRs into main)
- Rule: Never rebase shared/public branches
Conflict Resolution
- Understand BOTH sides of the conflict
- Talk to the other developer if unsure
- Run tests after resolving
- Use
git rererefor recurring conflicts
