Skill jzills/claude-marketplace/plugins/branching-strategy/skills/gitflow

Use when the repository has been identified as using GitFlow — a remote `develop` branch exists. Provides base branches, PR targets, and merge conventions for feature, release, and hotfix branches.From its SKILL.md

GitFlow Branching Conventions

Branch Routing

Branch type	Cut from	PR targets	Notes
`feature/`, `fix/`, `chore/`, `refactor/`, `docs/`, `test/`, `ci/`, `perf/`, `style/*`	`develop`	`develop`	Day-to-day work
`release/*`	`develop`	`main` (default branch)	Back-merge (`main` → `develop`) is CI/CD's responsibility post-merge
`hotfix/*`	`main` (default branch)	`main` (default branch)	Critical production fixes; CI/CD back-merges to `develop`

Creating a Branch

Always pull the base branch before cutting:

git checkout <base-branch> && git pull origin <base-branch>
git checkout -b <new-branch>
git push -u origin <new-branch>

Resolving the Default Branch

GitFlow repos may use main or master as the production branch. Always resolve dynamically — never hardcode:

gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name'

Use this value wherever main appears in the table above.

Detection Signal

This strategy was identified because git ls-remote --heads origin develop returned output. If that is no longer true, switch to branching-strategy:trunk.
