Destructive Git operations require backup strategies before execution. Create a backup branch pointing to your current commit, then proceed with the operation. This Skill guides you through each step and prompts for confirmation, ensuring you can recover if needed.

Merge conflict resolution varies by platform and Git workflow. This Skill provides platform-specific guidance for GitHub, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket, plus cross-platform techniques for Windows, Linux, and macOS, so you resolve conflicts consistently regardless of your environment.

Lost commits live in Git's reflog until garbage collection. This Skill teaches reflog recovery techniques and platform-specific recovery workflows to restore commits, branches, or stashed work, plus it prevents accidental data loss through safety guardrails.

Git submodules and worktrees enable complex repository structures but introduce risks if misconfigured. This Skill covers initialization, configuration, and safe usage patterns for both, with warnings about destructive operations and platform-specific considerations.

Branching strategies—like feature branches, release branches, and hotfix flows—depend on your team size and release cadence. This Skill explains common strategies and helps you choose one suited to your platform and provides commands to implement it safely.

Automated Git workflows save time but risk unintended changes without safeguards. This Skill balances automation and control through configurable commit preferences, explicit confirmations for risky tasks, and platform-specific automation patterns for GitHub, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket.
