rebase-downstream

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the complex and error-prone process of updating multiple dependent branches after upstream changes, ensuring code consistency and reducing merge conflicts.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated Branch Detection: Intelligently identifies all downstream branches that depend on the current branch.
• Ordered Rebasing: Rebases branches sequentially, starting from the closest downstream dependency.
• Conflict Resolution Assistance: Provides guidance and attempts to resolve merge conflicts automatically.
• Preflight Checks: Runs automated checks (build, tests, etc.) on each rebased branch to ensure stability.
• Use Case: After updating a core library branch, use this Skill to automatically rebase all feature branches that depend on it, preventing integration headaches.

Quick Start

Propagate the latest changes from the current branch to all downstream dependent branches.
