Instructions
Use this skill when you need to:
- Check the current state of a Git repository
- View recent commit history
- Understand what files have been modified, added, or deleted
- Get information about the current branch
Prerequisites:
- The working directory must be within a Git repository
- Git must be installed on the system
Best Practices:
- Always check the status before making changes
- Use descriptive commit messages
- Review changes before committing
Examples
Example 1: Check Repository Status
# Using the tool decorator
status = check_git_status()
print(f"Current status: {status}")
Example 2: View Recent Commits
# Using the HTTP endpoint
response = await git_log(limit=10)
if response["status"] == "success":
print(f"Recent commits:\n{response['output']}")
Example 3: Combined Workflow
When asked "What changes are in the repository?":
- First, call
check_git_status()to see modified files - Then, call
git_log(limit=5)to see recent commits - Provide a summary of both results to the user
Example 4: Error Handling
Always check the response status and handle errors gracefully:
result = await git_status()
if result["status"] == "error":
print(f"Git operation failed: {result['message']}")
else:
print(f"Status: {result['output']}")
