SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires git, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers quickly identify when their local repository is out of sync with the remote, preventing surprises before commits, merges, or deployments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Sync status checks: Detect uncommitted changes, unpushed commits, unpulled commits, and divergence.
  • Upstream tracking insights: Show current branch upstream and whether it is configured.
  • Guided remediation: Provide actionable recommendations to bring local and remote into alignment in common scenarios.

Quick Start

In your repository, run the provided PowerShell script to generate a sync report:

  • Run the quick check: ..claude\skills\project-sync\check-sync.ps1 -FetchRemote
  • Review the generated report and follow the recommendations (e.g., git pull, git push, or rebase) to restore synchronization.

Frequently Asked Questions about Project Sync Checker

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if my local git repository is out of sync with the remote?▼

To check if your local git repository is out of sync, run the sync status script to inspect branch tracking and surface uncommitted changes, ahead/behind status, and divergence against the remote.

What is git branch divergence and how do I detect unpushed and unpulled commits?▼

Git branch divergence occurs when local and remote histories split. The tool detects this by inspecting branch tracking to identify unpushed and unpulled commits, generating a detailed sync report.

How do I get actionable remediation steps to align my local and remote git branches?▼

To get actionable remediation steps for aligning local and remote git branches, run the script with the FetchRemote flag. It reviews your sync state and recommends git pull, push, or rebase to restore synchronization.

Can I use this sync checker to prepare local repository changes before a code review or deployment?▼

Yes, you can use this sync checker to prepare for code reviews or deployments by verifying repository alignment. It applies to day-to-day development workflows by ensuring local and remote branches are synchronized before merging.

Do I need git installed to run the project sync status script?▼

Yes, you need git installed as a prerequisite dependency. The script relies on git to inspect upstream tracking configurations, analyze commit differences, and evaluate stash state to generate the synchronization report.

Why does my git upstream branch show as unconfigured during a sync check?▼

Your git upstream branch shows as unconfigured when current branch tracking is not established. The sync checker inspects upstream tracking configurations to identify this state and flags it in the generated status report.
