Loading

Git reference guidance for inspecting changes, managing branches and remotes, and recovering repository history. Task routes connect everyday commands with the revision syntax, configuration and recovery details needed to use them deliberately.

Use for Git commands, options, configuration, refspecs and revision ranges; staging, commits, branches, merges, rebase, cherry-pick, revert, reset, stash and tags; history, diffs, blame, bisect and grep; remotes, fetch/pull/push and tracking; hooks, attributes, submodules, worktrees and sparse checkout; reflog/fsck recovery, gc and plumbing. Also use for .gitignore, .gitattributes, .git/config, .git/hooks, Git errors and conflict markers, or choosing a version-control command without an explicit Git mention.

What this skill helps with

Task	Useful reference material
Review and record changes	Choose what to stage and commit, then inspect differences and history.
Integrate branches	Work through branch and merge operations with their effects on repository history.
Work with remotes	Understand fetch, pull, push and tracking before synchronizing repositories.
Recover and maintain a repository	Find reflog, integrity and maintenance guidance when repository state needs investigation.

The work behind the references

The command material is organized by the job being performed, with descriptive filenames and linked revision, configuration and plumbing references. Command examples and shell-quoting guidance keep arguments and execution context visible alongside the prose.

Start here

Start with SKILL.md and follow its context routes.

Start with the command safety and shell-quoting guidance when adapting examples. Inspect the current repository state before applying commands that rewrite history or remove files.
