Skill instructions
Git Branch — Branch Management Check Branching Strategy Config bash cat .memory/git-config.md 2/dev/null If Branching Strategy is filled in, use the configured strategy. The detect-branching-strategy.sh hook automatically seeds on sessionStart. If the config has Confidence: medium, confirm with the dev before using (see Detect Branching Strategy section). Check Git State Before starting implementation: bash git branch --show-current git status git fetch origin Remote Synchronization If on main/master/develop, check synchronization: bash git rev-list HEAD..origin/<branch --count | Situation | Action | |-----------|--------| | Branch behind (commits behind remote) | Alert and suggest pull | | Branch with uncommitted local changes | Alert about pending changes | | Branch up to date and clean | Proceed normally | If the main branch is behind: Your branch [main] is [N] commits behind the remote. I recommend updating before creating a new branch: [P] Pull and continue [I] Ignore and continue
