What problem does it solve?

This skill helps developers maintain clean, atomic Git histories by guiding commit messages in the Conventional Commits format and offering PR-ready suggestions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces Conventional Commits style on commits and PR messages.
  • Analyzes git status to differentiate staged, unstaged, and untracked changes; suggests appropriate actions.
  • Provides safe workflow guidance, warning before pushes to protected branches like main.

Quick Start

Check the repository status with git status, review the suggested plan, stage changes with git add <files>, and commit with a conventional message such as feat: add new capability.

Frequently Asked Questions about git-expert

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write better commit messages using conventional commits?▼

Conventional commits follow a structured format (type: description) that clarifies what changed and why. This skill enforces that syntax to keep your git history clean and readable, making it easier to track features, fixes, and breaking changes across your project.

How do I organize my staged and unstaged changes before committing?▼

Run git status to see what's staged, unstaged, and untracked. This skill analyzes those states and suggests which files to stage together for atomic commits—self-contained changes that accomplish one logical goal without mixing concerns.

What's the best way to prepare a pull request with a clean commit history?▼

Build your PR by staging related changes, committing with conventional messages, and reviewing the branch before push. This skill guides that workflow and warns you before pushing to protected branches like main, preventing accidental overwrites.

Why should I use atomic commits instead of committing all changes at once?▼

Atomic commits isolate one logical change per commit, making history easier to review, bisect for bugs, and revert if needed. This skill helps you identify which files belong together and proposes commit boundaries that follow this principle.

Can I use this with my existing git workflow and branch strategy?▼

Yes, this skill works with typical development workflows across feature branches. It requires a CLI environment and git repository, but adapts to your existing branching and merging patterns while enforcing conventional message syntax.
