Git Workflow Automation

Automated helpers for common git workflows and branch management tasks.

No Setup Required

This skill uses native git commands and bash scripts - no additional tools or SDKs needed. Works immediately in any environment with git installed.

Quick Start

Create Feature Branch

Create a new feature branch following naming conventions:

# Interactive: prompts for feature name
cd /path/to/repo
bash ~/.claude/skills/git-workflow/scripts/create-feature-branch.sh

# Non-interactive: specify feature name
bash ~/.claude/skills/git-workflow/scripts/create-feature-branch.sh "add-user-auth"
# Creates: feature/add-user-auth

Clean Up Merged Branches

Remove local branches that have been merged to main/master:

cd /path/to/repo

# Preview what would be deleted (dry run)
bash ~/.claude/skills/git-workflow/scripts/cleanup-merged-branches.sh --dry-run

# Actually delete merged branches
bash ~/.claude/skills/git-workflow/scripts/cleanup-merged-branches.sh

# Force cleanup (skip confirmations)
bash ~/.claude/skills/git-workflow/scripts/cleanup-merged-branches.sh --force

Interactive Rebase Helper

Simplified interactive rebase with common options:

cd /path/to/repo

# Rebase last 3 commits
bash ~/.claude/skills/git-workflow/scripts/interactive-rebase.sh 3

# Rebase since a specific commit
bash ~/.claude/skills/git-workflow/scripts/interactive-rebase.sh abc123

# Rebase onto main
bash ~/.claude/skills/git-workflow/scripts/interactive-rebase.sh main

Available Scripts

All scripts are located in the skill's scripts/ directory and can be run with bash.

Script Purpose Usage
create-feature-branch.sh Create feature branches with naming conventions bash script.sh [feature-name]
cleanup-merged-branches.sh Clean up merged branches bash script.sh [--dry-run|--force]
interactive-rebase.sh Interactive rebase helper bash script.sh <commit-count|ref>

Workflow Examples

Starting a New Feature

# 1. Ensure main is up to date
git checkout main
git pull origin main

# 2. Create feature branch
bash ~/.claude/skills/git-workflow/scripts/create-feature-branch.sh "user-authentication"

# 3. Work on feature...
# (make commits)

# 4. Push when ready
git push -u origin feature/user-authentication

Cleaning Up After PR Merge

# 1. Update main branch
git checkout main
git pull origin main

# 2. Preview what will be deleted
bash ~/.claude/skills/git-workflow/scripts/cleanup-merged-branches.sh --dry-run

# 3. Clean up merged branches
bash ~/.claude/skills/git-workflow/scripts/cleanup-merged-branches.sh

Squashing Commits Before PR

# Squash last 5 commits into one
bash ~/.claude/skills/git-workflow/scripts/interactive-rebase.sh 5

# In the editor that opens:
# - Change 'pick' to 'squash' (or 's') for commits 2-5
# - Keep first commit as 'pick'
# - Save and close

# Then edit the combined commit message

Safety Features

All scripts include:

  • Dry run mode - Preview changes before applying
  • Confirmation prompts - Ask before destructive operations
  • Current branch protection - Won't delete the branch you're on
  • Main/master protection - Won't delete main branches
  • Uncommitted changes check - Warns if working directory is dirty

Prerequisites

  • git - Installed and configured (available in most dev environments)
  • bash - Standard shell (available on Linux, macOS, and Git Bash on Windows)

No additional tools, SDKs, or environment variables required.
