Git Workflows

What it does

This skill automates common Git and GitHub workflows, such as branching, merging, pull requests, commits, and issue management. It leverages Grove Wrap (gw) to provide a safe and controlled environment for version control operations. All interactions with Git and GitHub are mediated through gw, preventing direct use of raw git or gh commands. The system enforces safety tiers and Conventional Commits formatting to ensure code quality and security.

When to use it

• Making commits, pushing changes, pulling updates, branching, or stashing code.
• Creating, reviewing, or merging pull requests.
• Managing GitHub issues (creating, viewing, closing).
• Checking the status of CI/workflow runs.
• Reviewing Git history, diffs, or blame information.
• Resolving merge conflicts.
• Performing any version control operation.

Key capabilities

• Safe Workflow Execution: All Git and GitHub operations are handled through Grove Wrap (gw) for enhanced safety.
• Three-Tiered Safety Model: Commands require flags (--write, --force) to control access levels (READ, WRITE, DANGEROUS).
• Protected Branch Enforcement: Force pushing is prohibited on main, master, production, and staging branches.
• Conventional Commits Validation: Commit messages are automatically validated against the Conventional Commits format (<type>(<scope>): <description>).
• Dry Run Support: Use --dry-run to preview command actions before execution.
• Agent Mode: Enhanced security and limitations for agents like Claude Code (stricter row limits, blocked force operations, audit logging).

Example prompts

• "gw git status" - Check the current Git status.
• "gw git commit --write -m 'feat: add user profile page'" - Commit changes with a Conventional Commits message.
• "gw gh pr create" - Create a new pull request.

Tips & gotchas

• Always use gw: Direct Git or GitHub commands are not permitted.
• Understand Safety Tiers: Be mindful of the required flags (--write, --force) for different operations.
• Conventional Commits: Adhere to the Conventional Commits format for commit messages.
