SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Git workflows often suffer from non-standard branch naming, inconsistent commit messages, and manual MR processes that slow delivery and introduce risk. This skill provides a formalized governance layer that ensures every code change adheres to the EliteForge specification, reducing misalignment and review friction.

Core Features & Use Cases

Centralizes branch naming, PR/MR workflows, and release procedures according to the governance rules.
Automates pre-commit and pre-merge checks, gating code changes behind branch-upstream and approval requirements.
Use cases include onboarding new repos to EliteForge standards, auditing existing histories, and guiding teams through compliant releases.

Quick Start

Declare that your project follows the EliteForge specification and start enforcing the standard Git workflow for branches, commits, and MR processes.

FAQPage Schema

How do I enforce standardized Git branch naming and commit messages?▼

To enforce Git governance, you can declare your project follows the EliteForge specification to automate pre-commit and pre-merge checks for branch naming and commit messages. This gates code changes behind strict compliance rules. It centralizes naming conventions and MR workflows to reduce review friction and delivery risks.

What does automated merge request workflow governance do?▼

Automated merge request workflow governance applies squash rules, hotfix conventions, and approval requirements to gate code changes before merging. It ensures every MR adheres to standardized specifications, reducing manual review friction and misalignment. This is achieved by running pre-merge checks using defined automation scripts.

Do I need a specific directory structure to automate Git governance checks?▼

Yes, you need a defined script directory named scripts/ to automate Git governance checks and access repository metadata. This directory stores the automation logic required for strict gating before code changes are approved. Declaring compliance with the EliteForge specification activates these checks.

What's the best way to audit existing repository histories for branch naming compliance?▼

The best way to audit existing repository histories is by applying the EliteForge Git governance specification to centralize branch naming and review existing commit patterns. This formalized governance layer audits histories against standardized rules, identifying non-standard branches and inconsistent commit messages to reduce misalignment.

Can I use this governance automation for onboarding new repositories to standard Git workflows?▼

Yes, you can use this governance automation for onboarding new repositories to standard Git workflows by declaring compliance with the EliteForge specification. It guides teams through compliant releases by automating pre-commit checks, enforcing branch-upstream requirements, and standardizing MR procedures from the start.

Why does strict gating fail when squash rules are not applied to merge requests?▼

Strict gating fails when squash rules are bypassed because the governance layer cannot enforce standardized commit histories required by the EliteForge specification. Applying squash rules during MR workflows ensures consistent commit messages and prevents non-compliant code changes from merging into the protected branches.
