What it does

Manage Git branching strategies, commit conventions, and collaboration workflows. Use when choosing between trunk-based development, GitHub Flow, or GitFlow, implementing conventional commits for automated versioning, setting up Git hooks for quality gates, or organizing monorepos with clear ownership.

Git Workflows

Implement structured Git workflows for team collaboration, code quality, and automated releases. This skill covers branching strategies, conventional commit formats, Git hooks, and monorepo management patterns.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

Choosing a branching strategy for a new project or team
Implementing consistent commit message formats
Setting up Git hooks for linting, testing, or validation
Managing monorepos with multiple projects
Establishing code review workflows
Automating versioning and releases

Quick Decision: Which Branching Strategy?

Trunk-Based Development

Use when the team has strong CI/CD automation, comprehensive test coverage (80%+), and deploys frequently (daily or more). Short-lived branches merge within 1 day. Requires feature flags for incomplete features.

Best for: High-velocity teams with mature DevOps practices (Google, Facebook, Netflix)

GitHub Flow

Use for web applications with continuous deployment. Main branch always represents production. Simple PR-based workflow for small to medium teams (2-20 developers).

Best for: Startups, SaaS products, open-source projects

GitFlow

Use when supporting multiple production versions simultaneously, requiring formal QA cycles, or following scheduled releases (monthly, quarterly). More complex but structured.

Best for: Enterprise software, mobile apps with App Store releases, on-premise products

For detailed branching patterns with examples, see references/branching-strategies.md.

Conventional Commits

Structure commit messages for automated versioning and changelog generation:
