FAQPage Schema
How can I preview git branch diffs before applying a rebase?

A read-only branch preview analyzes the watched branch against terminal station branches to show exact changes without modifying any branches. It uses git commands to inspect the configured sequence of stations safely.

Can I inspect assembly-line changes without checking out or altering branches?

Yes, you can inspect assembly-line changes without checking out or altering branches because the preview operates exclusively in a read-only mode. It relies on existing line.yaml configuration and terminal station branches for safe inspection.

How do I review per-station diff breakdowns for an assembly line?

You review per-station diff breakdowns by running the preview command against your line.yaml configuration. The skill analyzes the configured sequence of stations and the watched branch to prepare a detailed diff breakdown for each station.

Do I need a line.yaml file to analyze station branches?

Yes, you need an existing line.yaml file and terminal station branches to analyze station branches. The skill relies on these configurations to identify and review the exact changes the assembly line would apply.

What are the limitations of a read-only git diff preview for station branches?

The read-only git diff preview is limited to inspection only and cannot apply or modify changes to your branches. It strictly uses existing line.yaml and terminal station branches for safe examination without altering your repository state.
