Git branch

Skill puku0x/agent-skills-test/.github/skills/git-branch

Create Git branches with automatic type detection and project-specific naming conventions. Use when asked to "create a branch", "make a new branch", "create branch for changes", or when ready to organize code changes into a new branch. Supports feat, fix, docs, refactor, test, build, ci, chore, revert, and perf branch types with automatic type selection based on changed file patterns.From its SKILL.md

Git Branch Skill

This skill guides the creation of Git branches with project-specific naming conventions.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

You have made changes to the codebase and need to create a new branch for those changes.
You want to ensure that the branch name follows the project's naming conventions.

Instructions

Step 1: Check staged changes

Use the following command to view staged changes:

git diff --staged

Important If there are staged changes, proceed to the next step.

If there are no staged changes, check unstaged changes with:

git diff --name-only

Step 2: Determine branch type and description

The format for branch names is:

<type>-<description>

If there are only staged changes, base the branch name on the staged changes.
If there are only unstaged changes, base the branch name on the unstaged changes.
If there are both staged and unstaged changes, base the branch name on the staged changes.

type is determined based on the patterns of the changed files:

feat-: New features or changes to existing features
fix-: Bug fixes
refactor-: Refactoring (changes that do not add features or fix bugs)
test-: Adding or modifying tests (e.g., changes to *.spec.* or *.spec.*.snap files)
docs-: Documentation-only changes (e.g., changes to *.md files)
ci-: CI-related changes (e.g., changes to files in .github/workflows/* or .github/actions/*)
chore-: Other changes (e.g., changes to *.json, configuration files like *.config.js, .gitignore, etc.)
revert-: Reverting previous commits
build-: Changes related to the build system or external dependencies
perf-: Performance improvements

description should concisely describe the changes made, using hyphens to separate words.

Step 3: Create the branch

Use git switch -c to create and switch to the new branch.

Example:

git switch -c feat-user-authentication

[!NOTE]

When the name of the branch already exists, append a unique suffix to the branch name to avoid conflicts. For example, if feat-user-authentication already exists, create feat-user-authentication-1, feat-user-authentication-2, etc.
