SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies end-to-end GitHub repository workflows by enabling creation, configuration, and maintenance of repos using local git commands alongside GitHub MCP, reducing manual steps and context switching.

Core Features & Use Cases

Create repositories on GitHub using GitHub MCP.
Initialize local repos, set remotes, commit with conventional messages, and push.
Manage branches (create, switch, delete) and open/list/merge PRs within GitHub workflows, all via MCP.
Enforce Conventional Commits and safe-guard destructive actions.

Quick Start

Create a repository named my-project on GitHub. If starting from an existing project, initialize a local git repository and link it to origin. Commit changes with a conventional message and push to main. Example commands: git init; git add .; git commit -m "feat: initial commit"; git remote add origin https://github.com/owner/my-project.git; git push -u origin main
