preflight-check

To check for uncommitted changes before opening a pull request, you need a preflight git validation process that detects dirty working states and incorrect branch configurations. This skill performs that environment validation to ensure your repository is clean before proceeding.

A pre-commit check for branch validation is a process that verifies your current branch is merged and up-to-date with the main branch. It prevents unintended commits by ensuring your git environment health before you start making code changes.

To ensure your main branch is up to date before branching, run a preflight check that validates your git working state against the remote repository. This detects out-of-date main branches and prompts you to pull the latest changes before creating a new branch.

Yes, this git preflight check requires bash to execute git operations and handle user interaction for confirmation or correction. You need a bash-compatible environment to validate uncommitted changes and branch states effectively.

The best way to prevent committing to an incorrect git branch is to use an automated preflight check that validates branch states before you proceed. This ensures your git environment is in a clean, correct state and prevents unintended commits from being pushed.

Your pull request may fail due to a dirty git environment if uncommitted changes or an out-of-date main branch cause conflicts. Running a preflight check detects these issues beforehand, ensuring code quality and a clean working state before opening the PR.
