What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines Git workflows by enabling selective merging of specific files or folders from one branch to another, and by performing clean squash merges to integrate feature branches as single commits.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Partial Merges: Checkout and merge only designated files or directories from a source branch into a target branch, avoiding a full branch merge.
• Squash Merges: Consolidate all commits from a feature branch into a single, clean commit on the target branch, simplifying history.
• Use Case: You need to bring only the updated UI components from a design-update branch into your develop branch without merging the entire feature. Or, you want to integrate a completed user-auth feature into main as a single, well-described commit.

Quick Start

As a DevOps Engineer, checkout the 'docs' folder from the 'feature/new-docs' branch into the current branch and commit it.
