What does this skill do?

The Git Workflow Pro Skill guides your team in standardizing Git practices with branching strategies, best practices for commits, and systematic conflict resolution. It defines the entire workflow from branch creation to release using semantic tags, and includes PR templates, useful aliases, pre-commit hooks, and anti-patterns to avoid.

Branching Strategy
Choose between GitHub Flow, Trunk-Based, or GitFlow based on the team's size and release cadence.
Conventional Commits
Write commit messages and PR descriptions following the Conventional Commits format, using the types "feat," "fix," "docs," and "refactor."
Merge vs. Rebase
Decide when to preserve the commit history using `merge` and when to linearize it using `rebase`, avoiding `rebase` on public or shared branches.
Semantic Releases
Manage versions using semantic tags, structured changelogs, and consistent naming conventions for branches and releases.

Usage examples

🌿 Branching Strategy
Configure the branching strategy for an 8-person team with weekly releases.
📝 Conventional commit
Write a standard commit for a fix that retries requests that result in a 503 error using exponential backoff.
🔀 Resolving Conflicts
I'm having trouble merging feature/user-auth into main. Please help me resolve these issues step by step.
🏷️ Semantic Release
Create a v1.2.0 release tag with a changelog listing features and fixes for my repository.
